In post 5, callforjudgement wrote:As a mod, I explicitly allow playing to a future wincon. (However, so far I haven't run any games where win conditions can change.) I see every win condition as having an implicit "or change your win condition and fulfil your new win condition" attached to it, because that's how we determine who actually wins and loses, and thus it is in practice part of the win condition by definition.
Strong agree with this.

It's absurd to force someone to continue playing to the town win condition if they think their win condition is going to change. It's basically forcing someone to make themself less likely to win, in the name of "playing to your win condition."

(the simple solution is of course not to run cult games)
