Spoilers are unavoidable, yes. That's the cost of having everyone play the whole game and report on it. The benefit of seeing other's play, whether weedy or good, and my critique of their play will greatly outweigh the cost of spoiler information.

That being said, I do have the expectation that folks will attempt to compartmentalize the spoilers as best they can. Of course, all of us will be influenced by the increased information--all I can ask is that we think a bit and try to act on only the Official Game information. None of us will be perfect, but if you are willing to play the game, then you have enough smarts to make the attempt.

Yeah--if things don't work out--I'll go down with the ship. Your training is in my hands, aye.
