  1. Episode 210: A Silly Place

    I listened to the first 23 minutes of this podcast and was disappointed that the speakers were so ill-informed about some aspects of the game. Just one big for instance: One speaker banged on about the impermanence of the game. He used as a prime example the water pumping station. He complained it quickly depletes the water table in its neighborhood. Thus forcing him to bulldoze the building and build a new one elsewhere. He seemed completely unaware of the fact that if you put your water station next to the sewage treatment plant you will have a renewable water source and never have to move the pumping station. I don't think the speakers have enough experience yet with the game to be commenting on it. If instead the host had included one of the game's designers who could have addressed his guests concern, that would have been a far more informative program.
