The Official HutFinder Poll
We heven't seemed to reach a solid consensus in obiwan's thread, so I'm posting this up. I'm considering options 1 and 2 as one, since they amount to the same thing, I'm just curious why people would allow it.
Personally, I voted for 2. I don't usually do things like incremental buying or HutFinder, I feel it takes some of the fun out of the game, but this game is an exception.

Was it used in game 2? I recall no use of it in the first game. I certainly have no idea what it is.

Seems pointless to ban it. If our president knows how to use the charts... well... it's almost impossible to prevent. Now that I know the specials pattern, for example, I do it unconsciously, almost. Same deal for hut knowledge.

I should close this poll simply because it doesn't have the banana option in it.

However, I'll take pity upon the new citizen of our nation and let him off with just a warning

I agree that it's almost impossible to prevent, but it does seem to be against the spirit of the game. They way to find out about a place is to visit it or to swap maps. (Mind you I feel that way about "black clicking" as well.)

On the otherhand, I'm willing to look at a table of Oedo years - I wonder if I'm being inconsistent.

It does not give any more information than we already can get. It just saves a little time.

It was ment to be open for 3 days, yes, I missed the field for timeout I just wanted to know before we got some cities down, so I would know whether I could use it to know where to mine for specials...
