It's easy to foul oneself when you are learning the game, but to the experienced player, fouling oneself is very embarrassing and, yes, makes you feel silly.


Or I guess you can look at it that way.

MOST people will look at it like:

I want to be Nelson. Oops...why can't my ships move?

I'll play something else.


Then you lost a potential player because they do not have the patience.

You might as well use ship names like Blinky, Dumbo, and Charlie for all it matters.

I just find it amusing that the response to fouling is "Its embarrassing and makes you feel silly".

When several people I have played with so far are thinking they simply will not play at all because its annoying.

A hinderance to fun play.


Unfortunately, you came in at a bad time. Fouling worked well until a couple of weeks ago when some updates were made.
