Yeah I pushed hard for numbers given it was a weak theme - hence the trial of many failed game dynamics. Had to do something different but don't blame people for disliking it.
I always try and defend you/the game and than you make me seem like a fool when you proceed to agree with the haters.
The Master was probably needed for Retro, in hindsight. Would have been a good way of holding the game together if he'd had a more conventional objective like be one of the last 2 alive or summat.
It wasn't a weak theme, you just cheated it. You completely sold Downes down the river with your precious creation too because he had to bear the brunt of three rage quitting Daleks. Indeed, in spite of the various rigging I enjoyed it.
