Cant handle warfare
« on: April 02, 2012, 12:02:57 AM »
I have not the rl time to fit into Bjørns schedule. Instead of endless frustration having campaign move on with lots of wasted WM's due to my lack of ability to judge when time is up I quite game. It was fun both times I played.

Have fun

Quitting seems a little extreme, Kasper.

Why not simply let Bjorn fiat it? You can put the general plan in your DO and deal with the ramifications in the next turn.

Hi Kasper, I've made the mistake of not saying anything because I couldn't say it properly before - generally most people are understanding of RL pressures.

I know it is frustrating to see your realm 'fail' something because you were busy / ill / un-connected etc but RoE is a multi-year game so 1 action or a few war-moves here or there don't really matter, take some zen time - you can sort out a way forward that avoids you being glued to your key-board or holding up turn-close to avoid the problem happening next season.

Kasper, why don't you try what Alan suggested - it works for me - allows me to stay in the game vs. RL time pressures and still contribute and enjoy the game.

Act instead of reacting. Do instead of questioning. I've lost track of the amount of times, Bjørn has informed his players that he wont tell them what to do - they have to make the decisions (for better or worse) themselves.

"Could we do this?" - Yes, you can. But do you do it? That's what matters.

I still remember my first RoE-campaign. Little Kaven Enlien, an unknown quantity then, put in charge of a rather large host and pointed towards the gnolls in Mieres.
I made some bad calls down there. I mean, I almost lost 5.000 men and the entire campaign at one point. But I *acted*. It was made very clear that worse things would happen if I simply sat around and did nothing, so I took some decisions. Sometimes based on nothing more than a hunch and without any knowledge of the actual game mechanics.

Bjørn forces a sense of urgency to warfare. It only seems only fair - we have a week to decide actions in a game, where regents normally have an entire season to carefully plan their actions. Of course it doesn't move along at the same rate as everything else in the game. If you don't have time for it, delegate. Or write a campaign-plan for the turn - or do both.
