I didn't realise the fun in the game was being better than everyone else.
I thought the fun in the game was the playing.

I play because it's fun, I fast forward because I get totally bored waiting for tech points. Fast forwarding means I can get to the fun parts again.

I'm sorry that this upsets you all so much but my advice is too play the game for the game itself and not worry so much what everyone else does or doesn't do.

Live and let live.

And Maura, I really like your idea of it being divided into areas of interest. And I do understand about there being no point in having one if it's not accurate. But even if you fast forward the boring parts you do still have work on making people elders, making stews ect.

And if there ever was a way to stop people who fast forward not being on the boards, I couldn't care less.
