I can definitely see how that happens. Btw it doesn't affect my view or score of the game. I just though it is both close enough but also different enough that it had to be intentional, while still being legally distinct. I appreciate the clarification!
oh yeah, no worries. i was just surprised by your first comment. everyone kept having silly elephant ideas and i kept saying no because i thought they all just made the game worse and more confusing (in an already kinda confusing game) and i would prefer just the best game we can make than go for the awards specific pander.
