Reception
Forrest Johnson reviewed The Warp Factor in The Space Gamer No. 39.[1] Johnson commented that "The Warp Factor is a challenging game. Our machine was kept pretty busy by staffers who wanted to know, for example, how Captain Kirk would do against a swarm of Tie-fighters. It is slow, but it can keep your attention. And it is a good buy for the Star Fleet Battles addict who can't find an opponent."[1]
gollark: This is something called the "noncentral fallacy", where because a thing is an *edge-case example* of a category, you taint it with all the connotations of everything else in the category.
gollark: A lot of political arguments are also something like "abortion is murder" / "abortion is important for choice", where you just associate it with badness/goodness tangentially to taint it with that badness/goodness.
gollark: Nevertheless, people will go around actually answering it based on whether they associate warm fuzzy feelings™️ with Israel or Palestine.
gollark: That's not really a well-stated question. It doesn't actually depend on the state of some thing which exists in the world.
gollark: Consider a question like "Israel or Palestine?".
