8/ A public service reminder:

This entire exercise is an absurd, imaginary world for legal experts.

That's because the truth is:

It's not an armed conflict.
The laws of war thus don't apply.

The more restrictive rules of human rights apply.
It's extrajudicial killing under that law.

3/ First it's absurd on its face that communicating to be RESCUED is a hostile act.

That's the definition of being shipwrecked and helpless.

The whole point of a legal prohibition on killing people who are shipwrecked is that they must be rescued or left to be rescued instead.

Actual progress is that the players are now just a little bit bigger than the actual discs. Why they used to be boardgame-sized never made sense

Admiral Halsey notified me
He had to have a berth or he couldn't get to sea
I had another look and I had a cup of tea
And a butter pie (a butter pie?)
(The butter wouldn't melt, so I put it in the pie, alright?)
