your questions regarding the game rules (improving the interpretation).

Simply remove that stupid rule about border ГО. I have played thousands of Jebus Cross games and consider this usage perfectly normal and justified. I personally would have done exactly the same (moreover, if I am not mistaken, I was the one who once told Dark that this was possible). The stories like "oh my god he scouted" are nothing compared to the headache people sign up for by restricting movement with control... You can already stand on banks of creatures and resources without clearing the guards! But here, oh dear, he scouted... omg wtf
