The frog is quite correct. Of course for myself it was a little worrysome as most of the day went by with announcements, and only later in the day was the official word given.

It is also very, very true that GC2 is a different game. It's not by any means a MOO clone or sequel, but the comparison is undeniable. This is really quite similar to the folks watching the development of PotBS wondering why that gam
