May I ask in what ways did it fail to reach your goal? Did it have no
effect, or a different effect to that which you hoped for?
I've noticed over time that I've tended to share your "naive" goals, notably
with the player political system in Dark Ages, which was implemented in much
the same way that I would have done it myself.
However, it does seem that no matter how many mistakes of the past that
there are to learn from, I still seem to maintain a high level of naivete
when developing my own world (as Dr Bartle can testify. *grins* ).
