I feel like this either needs to brew accompanied by a hard cap of some sort (I’m sure Josh doesn’t want to censor a billion communications or whatnot) or a nerf to communications of some sort (a use for the restricted list, possibly). Could just be me though, I haven’t been using them a lot.

the THICC cypher:

turn plaintext into ascii binary, and then that binary to a number.

The number of communications i send you will be that number.

five times seems a bit too much if you ask me

I honestly don’t see anyone using it - it’s just about removing what has become an essentially arbitrary constraint with no game design value

The existing constraint feels about right to me: it’s an interesting pressure to communicate succinctly.
