Deep dives

White's Strength in Organization is Its Weakness in Inflexibility and Vulnerability to Situational Answers

White, focused on peace through structure, utilizes laws and moral codes to ensure harmony. However, its meticulous planning leads to inflexibility, making it vulnerable to unpredictability. While having the most versatile answers, the situational nature of white's responses can be a weakness, as drawing the wrong solution at the wrong time may backfire. White's over-reliance on structured solutions and moral boundaries also makes it susceptible to opponents nullifying its actions.
