Er lurkily, I don't recall saying you DID deny it, I was just showing it could be done if someone wanted to. I'm sorry if you felt I was getting at you, but I don't know why you find it so hard to accept that other's don't always play the game the same way.
Um . . . because I was the one disagreeing with you all the time, though as it turns out, I was disagreeing based on mistaken assumptions. When you offered proof, I thought it was to refute my repeated disbelieving rebuttals.
I don't find it hard to believe that others play that way - several have weighed in on the subject since that disagreement, after all. At the time, though, not understanding how it was possible, the thought of such exacting micromanagement simply didn't cross my mind, since it's not something I would enjoy.
I spent a lot of time calculating the carrying capacity of the hive and orchard, for the purpose of calculating how long you could leave a village alone, and expect it to survive. Perhaps that's why when I consider issues related to the carrying capacity of a village, I tend to ignore mushroom hunting. During my consideration of the subject, I intentionally left mushroom hunting out, since it was for the purposes of gauging a village's survival while you were not there to run it.
