One thing not explicitly stated above, though it was explicitly stated in my communications with XAPBob: in addition to sending tech lambs to Protectorate planets, I transferred to him several 98% cloaked ffs with pen scanners (conveniently pre-deployed in Elemental space).

Beeblebrox shortly thereafter intercepted one of those ffs and saw that they had ultra-cloaks, which of course meant that the Protectorate could not have built them. Beeblebrox objected to the act of transferring ships in a no-comms game.

Lesson learned for me: any no-comms game should specify in the rules if cooperation of any sort is banned, or if only explicit communication is banned.

I'm in favor of allowing uncommunicated cooperation in no-comms games, on the grounds that:
1) The game is more fun that way
2) It doesn't negate the primary goal of no-comms (to remove the overbearing effects of diplomacy)
3) It's hard to define exactly what counts as "cooperation"

Reasonable people can disagree, certainly.

What we need's a few good taters.
