Enjoy and help the project! Oh boy, I do feel young again :-).

I have seldom seen common sense strategy. Most companies rely on luck and have close to no strategy, or they go for the lunatic strategy.

 >FWIW, I didn't find it insulting.  I was offering my (somewhat
 >> educated) viewpoint.

 I knew that education would get you in trouble someday.
 If you were a dropout like some of us, we wouldn't be having all
 these communication problems.

 That's why I like to work with people who know they're idiots. It's
 just so much easier on all of us.

 If they're an idiot and they know it, I can work with them.

 If they know they're an idiot and they turn out to be smart, so much
 the better.

 If they're an idiot and don't know it, I know I don't want to work
 with them.

 And if they're not an idiot and they know they're not an idiot, I
 don't want to work with them. Why make someone like that suffer?
 After all you'd have to be an idiot to want to work with me.

FreePop is a computer game based on the classic Populous I and II games by Bullfrog Productions. It is currently in development and aspires to be a great improvement on the original games, being a fitting gift to the open source community, as well as a part of the open source community.

OK, So What’s Populous?

For those of you who were trapped in a small dark room during the late 1980’s and 1990’s, or otherwise similarly deprived, Populous is a series of games developed by Bullfrog Productions which created the god-sim genre. The premise is that you (the player) and your opponent (AI or human) are gods or equivalent deities, and you battle each other using your powers - such as the summoning of natural disasters and the ability to coax the will of your followers - in order to destroy the followers of the opponent. The winner is the god with remaining followers.

Takeshi Kitano on the question: What’s you’re coolest moment?

 "In Japan, there is a broadcasting station called NHK,
  like BBC, but much, much stricter. When I was a rising
  star in comedy I appeared on a live program, and the director specifically
  said you can't say such-and-such, if you use these words you'll
  be finished. So of course I couldn't resist. I said 'shit'
  12 times in a row. I said, 'I saw a shit-like substance on the street.
  So I went over and I picked it up and smelled it, and it smelled like
  shit. Then I felt it and it felt like shit, and I liked it, and
  it tasted like shit, so I put it away. Thank god I didn't step in it!'
  That was my coolest moment, because it was a tremendous risk. They could have
  cut me off but they didn't. The director was fired and the producer was moved
  to another program, far away from Tokyo."
