I changed some stuff, but it was when the reports came, not because of the movie.

My changes:

- Don't use gmail for private email. Self hosted it instead.

- Switched to Firefox (from Chrome), changed my addons (https everywhere, privacy badger and mublock).

- Deleted my facebook account.

- Tried to get my friends to use a self-hosted irc server + mumble instead of skype - but that didn't last for long sadly.

- Changed from google to duckduckgo, but I'm constantly using the !g command anyway.

Sigh. I don't think any of this matters much anyway.

I think it's time to also highlight the fact that people enabled the NSA to do these things. A lot of them engineers. In some cases I'm sure the ones building the stuff didn't or couldn't see the end goal. But I guess there have been many who HAVE suspected or known about the use-cases of the products/software that they have been a part of making. This scares me, it is time that engineers take some moral responsibility. Maybe some course in ethical decision making wouldn't hurt to include in engineering colleges?

(Note: All fields should take moral responsibility, but engineers seem to be worse than a lot of others.)

I have played it for around 2 months and still find new things to play, test and learn. The hex grid not only makes the game unique for a TCG, but also enables a lot of tough strategical decisions.

3 factions yes, a fourth on the way. 3 decks? No way! Decks evolve constantly and new ones pop up, some die out - seems very healthy for such a small, young game so far :)

Just my 2 cents and experience.

I'd say it's definitely a full game. So many hours of fun and tinkering even with the relatively low scroll count so far. And it's just going to get better, still Beta.

I very much recommend trying out Scrolls if you're into deep strategy games.
