Gary Gifford's Comment about his own PoM ''The Medusa is not be underestimated'' is rather fatuous, because as well as other games, the renamed Immobilizer, Medusa, figures in this far superior game Rococo. Immobilizer, or this 'Medusa', is forty years old coming from Ultima and of course it is not underestimated, full Queen-moving form or restricted up-to-three square form. [The PoM form also captures normally so being way too strong] In Rococo we think Immobilizer is already the strongest piece superior to Long Leaper. There have been extensive discussions for these piece values over years, Advancer, LL, Immobilizer, Withdrawer, Chameleon, all Rococo units; and incidental use in PoM is comparatively insignificant. Combined Gifford 'Medusa' and more original Morph together would have good potential if on a reasonable not oversized board. But here in Rococo is professional-design implementation of Immobilizer. After 3500 separate write-ups for CVs, it is important for designers to begin not to see their creations only in isolation. The trend unfortunately and incredibly is to take things the other way and even ignore past art.
