Factions and how to prevent abuse

[Davin]

By way of abusing of knowledge, there are usually ways to abuse that knowledge even with hard limitations. For instance, what if some friend's clan (or even a stranger) spotted that Boda clan and told you about it? The results are the same with or without those limitations. I can probably come up with counter-examples for most situations whereby it can be abused without a whole lot more effort.

I think the important thing here is to limit the most flagrant and obvious possibilities as best we can. We then make it fun for everyone to play without relying on "cheating" and chances are they won't bother most of the time.
