It seems like a reasonable starting point (especially in the way it allows for cooperation). I notice a scam already in this version. In particular, you probably don't want it to be optimal play to have to give notice for changing to each quadrant every four days. I guess that in order to limit it meaningfully, you'd have to make quadrant changes always happen but with a delay, or else make them affect something other than merely the victory condition. (Notes were interesting in that changing your Key affected accumulation, but that mechanic was mostly unpopular because players didn't want to have to figure out how to use it.) I assume you're planning to eventually provide means of gaining operators via methods other than "one per week at random"? -- ais523
