I found this article this morning, and I must say, I loved it. It is so well-written and level-headed, and over the past few days, I found myself thinking along these lines as I watch people try to attack and burn each other. This article is quite lengthy, but it's so well-written. I definitely recommend reading it: http://blueplz.blogspot.com/2014/08/this-game-supports-more-than-two-players.html
