Still the same old Brainbomb, I see. Has he been steadily doing this stuff the entire time he has been here?

Calhamer himself talks about this stuff here... http://www.diplomacy-archive.com/resources/calhamer/objectives.htm He doesn't say drawing is winning, but he does says it is a valued result, in other words, it is not LOSING like some people like to say.
