That's one way of putting it, but mostly because someone here has a boyfriend or something and everyone who doesn't sucks up to him is bound to lose, regardless of skills. My comrade kizil made good use of espionage, he had all of Wade's plans (courtesy of the Umber player) and he thought of each single countermeasure, the war plans were nothing short of a textwall and we could only win. Mina ignored all of kizil's plans and the whole thing went a bit like this. In my case she tried to lower the amount of forces to be used for the recapture of Tarth, already a pittance by the way, and the only thing that saved that garrison were the Braavosi which implies that I would've managed to capture it anyway. And no trace of my punishment of the clergy of the Faith and the destruction of the Great Sept of Baelor, contigency plan in case things went horribly wrong in King's Landing because the Faith was among the parties involved in the Scouring and because why the hell not.

Since I do not intend to play rigged games, I bail.

You were kinda buggered on that one - I was sending a huge fleet to Tarth, that @CommanderBlade was never told about. Loose lips sink ships.:evil:

Where did those plans go, because I didn't get them.

Can someone translate this into English for me, I don't speak whiny bitch.
 
Compared with the other games, I do not see as much arguing over war or espionage results as there usually is. It is a good thing for a game.

Okay so this is me putting on my warmod hat;

When you send in plans for any war in any game, the longer they are, the more likely it is that a mod is going to miss things. Typically you want to limit them to 1000 words max because the mod is going to be reading that and opposing warplans and if it's a big war, you can wind up with the mod having to read a short story just to complete a report. I say that because it's very easy to miss things and it's unfair to come back and slam the mod for doing so when those things were buried in the middle of a, as you put it, textwall and bound to be overlooked.
 
Yeah I am

Still the mod should read the plan over and over again. But I do know the pain of a large block of text as a warplan so I would say fault on both sides for that screw up and call it a day.
 
@Altzek, this would be total bias in favour of the person who some pages back was themselves going to quit the game due to them perceiving the GMs being unfair towards them?:???:
No matter how great and detailed the plan, the Rebels in King's Landing were in an appallingly bad position that'd have required a miracle to pull a victory out of - outnumbered, besieged and surrounded, in a city with no food, the walls already breached, and no hope of a relief force.

Still Kizil had the entire plan even if he didn't win he should have done a crap ton of damage to the enemy forces.
 
Ceslas, I would like for my royal guard numbers to be separate from the strength of the army. As it is only a few hundred men who are not front line troops.
