I think PRT balancing has gone way beyond what it should.

Some hosts are trying to give the players new experiences with unique settings which empowers or weakens certain PRTs... and that's great! Why creating scenarios to juggle around the usual strengths and weaknesses of the PRTs to only trying really hard to balance everything out again right afterwards.

Almost all scenarios are for rather experienced players and those don't need babysitting. It's their own responsibility, challenge and joy to analyze the game setting and think which PRT with which strategies and tactics is best suited for it, to show ways to play with a PRT which are often enough not possible in a "normal" game.

In the past years we had so great scenario games with hosts really putting much work into it... and then everything gets balanced and evened out again. And every successful players' PRT gets punished. That's stupid and an extremely weird application of mediocrity. As a matter of fact it is the try to play in a scenario as if there weren't a scenario. As if nobody here wants to adapt and to try out new stuff. Hey, I know that most players are exactly the opposite. So don't behave so weird.

I will demand that every seventh colonist be name howard.
