She's fine with them, yes - doesn't mean she would accept them when specifically looking for a game where lethal combat isn't a primary problem-solving method.

One thing keeps coming to mind - the metaphor breaks down very quickly, as I read it. If you plug a drain in a tank with more than one drain, you won't end up with a portion of the water flowing towards the drain and building up - either the total outflow will decrease leading to a generally higher but still-even water level, or the other drains will drain faster, depending on whether the water is being forced out by any pressure in addition to gravity. Or am I missing something?

Well, there's also that this thread is specifically on the EGS general discussion subforum.

I am back, not that I was around much to begin with. Has anyone informed Dan of the shift? The link from egscomics.com/extras still goes to the old address, which if course is an error message now.
