says Five games per seat count, 2-6 players. NO ANOMALIES: every game reaches 5 rounds with an outcome, no stalls, no stress above the cap, no over-claimed Problems. But the series showed something a crash never would. DARVO NEVER FIRED IN 25 GAMES and stress never exceeded 2. Measured wider: GreedyPolicy plays ATTACK exactly ZERO times in 10,000 selections across 500 games. THAT NUMBER IS ABOUT OUR BOT, NOT THE GAME. bot.rs ranks `Action::Attack => 10`, below everything. Reporting "the game gives no incentive to attack" from a policy we programmed to rank attack last would have been CB-WP-0025's C4 error committed again -- a single policy's behaviour presented as the game's. So the artifact varies exactly one number: ATTACK's rank in an otherwise identical policy, 200 games per cell. rank 10 (below all): 132/165/190/200/200 wins, 0 attacks, 0 DARVO rank 75 (above SUPPORT): 132/165/190/200/200 wins, 315-923, 13-218 rank 95 (above SOLVE): 0/0/0/0/0 wins, 1400-5170, 400-1000 THE MIDDLE ROW IS THE FINDING. Identical win counts at every seat count, while attacking hundreds of times and arming DARVO repeatedly. Attacking is not punished -- it is INERT with respect to the goal. Group success is a function of SOLVE alone, and ATTACK costs anything only when it ranks above SOLVE and displaces it. The maintainer was right and the reason is sharper than his phrasing: there is no incentive because there is no PATH. ATTACK's effects (Stress, Rivalry, DARVO) feed nothing that decides group_success. Bounded honestly to SHARED GROUND. Blame costs PERSONAL score, so ATTACK may earn its place in GR-E03 and GR-E04 -- which have never been played to the end (F14), and that is where to ask next. And this is NOT a claim the game is broken: DARVO is the pattern the game is about not falling into, so a self-destructive ATTACK may be the design. The question for ground-game is whether the namesake mechanic being unreachable in competent co-op play is intended. F17 promoted from note to raised, with games/ground/examples/attack-value.rs as its reproduction. Register: 18 findings, 8 with a resolving reproduction.
