The game is a very simple and all about territory control. A common complaint is exactly that it's too simple. Does anyone know about custom rules or things that can give more variety to the game, without necessarily making it too complex?

The best way to understand is looking at it like a game

People that want to inform others need to explain stuff, sometimes more thoroughly than reasonably needed, which takes, say, 50 energy per answer. They also need people to understand what's being informed, this is their "win condition"

Bullshitters just need to spam shit, never need to check sources, never need to be truthful and will use all sorts of logical fallacies when confronted. It takes 1 energy to start, 1 energy to spread AND they can convince others to spread it further for them. They don't want to inform, they want to get an immediate reaction, which is often of anger towards a "culprit". Their win condition is reach + emotional reaction.

Even worse, bullshitters will hypocritically pile up on anyone that they judge to not be playing "by the rules", since they have complete disregard for rules that don't benefit them.

Saucy sauce

I've got a number of these cups in a variety of sizes, but I can't figure what kind of scenery to do with them. I'd like some ideas, both fantasy and futuristic, whether as blogs, pictures or videos.

I mean, you take one look at Greek statues and Roman busts and you realize that people figured how to aim for realism, at least when it came to the human body and faces, over 2000 years ago.

Yet, unlike sculpture, paintings and drawings remained, uh, "immature" for centuries afterwards (to my limited knowledge, it was the Italian Renaissance that started making realistic paintings). Why?

Given how harder it's becoming to tell apart AI slop from something made by a human (videos, photos, text), and how much scammers and other criminals are piling up on the tech, I'm thinking this will be the silver lining, making some people pay more attention to real life and finally accept the maxim "Don't believe everything you see on the internet"
