It is an agreement on a certain stylistic language....and with that, it INCLUDES certain elements, and EXCLUDES others (like white ceilings, perhaps :D ). As mentioned here before a couple of times, a game, to be fun, has to have rules, if these rules go out the window it is not a game worth playing. I personally think that constructive criticism is lacking on TC, and that there is too much stylistic confusion in the Tiki revival. Letting others in on what one sees as Tiki style should not serve to SPOIL the fun and alienate them, but to CREATE more fun, and educate them. Well, that's how I see it...wonder why! :D
