Operations

Captain of the Watch

Farsightedness: The Butterfly Effect states that a butterfly that flaps its wings in Malaysia could cause a typhoon in British Columbia. So too could minor variations in one part of the board affect play across the board. The Captain of Watch asesses the board for all possible impacts - both immediate and long-term.

Hi folks..

I'm sure this has been answered before, but I can't search a keyword here, and I haven't been able to find an answer online to this.

I'm a bit fuzzy on the difference between Dark Gray and Black press, the difference between "officially" attributing to a fake author and "unofficially" doing it.

At face value, it sounds like officially would be the GM saying, "Hey, this message is definitely from (incorrect author", and unofficially would be them saying "This might or might not come from (incorrect author)", but that doesn't sound right. I'm thinking press wouldn't involve the GM deliberately lying.

Could someone please explain this better to me?

Thanks!

Bryan
