fundamental flaw with GDC?

[Anders Horn]

I'd like to see more rules where they state the intent. It is harder follow the intent of the rules when many times I have to guess the purpose.

I do agree with this, and feel it would help development early in the season, so that you can focus on what is allowed and isn't more independently, and spend less time waiting for team updates and GDC rulings.

That being said, the GDC does an excellent job of answering questions and updating the game, and does well in providing a fairly clear and concise set of rules.

As far as the original idea, of creating a GAC, this would likely only make the process harder. Too much bureaucracy stifles progress, and makes it harder to fine tune the game before release. And while more people might suggest things they think would improve the game, people disagree. So this group making the game more fun for some would make it less fun for other. There is no simple solution, however the GDC does a good job of getting a solid game each year.
