Hmm.  Remember that Olympia is free, it's a test game, and we're
adding features/fixing bugs as fast as we can.  By nature that means
things change and the game is unstable.  We don't try to do that to
you, and as a player I know how frustrating it can be.

Please tell us when Olympia doesn't do what you expect.  It's one of
my goals that most of the code I write produces "intuitive" results.
What's non-intuitive about persuading or terrorizing people, even if
they're in your own faction?  Maybe I can't see the forest for the
trees, but it seems natural to me.

I don't mind receiving mail.  Rich and I keep in pretty close contact,
forwarding mail messages that the other one is more qualified to
answer.  As rich said, I'm they guy to ask about persuade, terrorize,
and now combat and all its niceties.
