Thanks for clearing this!

"For a sequel to our initial game, one of the areas I'd like to explore is the players' ability to structure a new society based on what they capture (e.g., players create a new world based on what they take with them, so what does it mean to take along no policemen, or no books, or no meat?)."

This sounds like your hilarious humor AND like a great idea!
Wish you, and us, the best results of your investigations!
