I don't think it was rage-quitting so much as just getting completely out of the way. She was just made Marshal, told to take the Breath, then started feeling bad in real life when a lot of people blamed her for everything.

Really, if you're feeling terrible OOC, it stops becoming entertainment (no longer a game). A break is a good idea at that point. I'm not sure that calling her out here is especially useful, though. If that wasn't your intent, I apologize.

As for Summerdale, I think it's safe to say that we are totally screwed at this point. I knew that going in, though; excited to see how long I can survive before being tortured to death. Wonder if I can just keep traveling back and forth between to points using "delay arrival" ... to the laboratory!

It just sucks that she ended up being the fall guy for Queen "the numbers look good" Charlotte.  Both Aldus and Tancred independently pointed out how we had scout reports 12-24 hours out that said the attack was suicidal.

We might have been able to get a drop on on Torrents Breath had we all moved through Valldir (9 hours), rather than give them a two turn tip off (13 hours).  Instead, all of Morek and Libero got a full day of seeing us head to a position it would take them less than 12 hours to overwhelmingly reinforce.  And then the scout reports started confirming that Morek was onto the attack, and then Owen's detachment crashed early, confirming it wasn't a misdirect.  Tancred protested the math, but posted a bad counter-plan while Charlotte reaffirmed that "the numbers look good."  So instead we just suicided our entire force?

Either the player of Charlotte hasn't learned much about war in the last SIX YEARS they've been playing the game, or they're really a secret Morek agent.

You decide.

Either way, sucks that Andira took the bullet for her.

Oh, you'd be shocked at how truly clueless many people really are about strategy and other military matters in BattleMaster, even some who have been self-proclaimed military geniuses since 2002.

Which is fine, there would be so much more sitting around and doing nothing if it were so...  Though, it could still lead to that, its just better if people think there is a chance to win an attack...  cause ya know, they can still win by luck and what-not.

Belattura (Or however you spell it is actually moving way too fast for me...), the monster island.  Movement just about every turn.  So I'll probably ditch it, despite the cool concept and constant battling.

I'd think a bunch of DF players would be more able to accept defeat, that's what I get -every- time I play DF.  You're approaching the situation from the standpoint that there -is- a magical way for Summerdale to win.  There isn't, short of Morek falling apart internally.  You can't just throw a bunch of new players at the war and expect to tip the scales.  I'm curious how you got the impression that Summerdale would be winning a bunch of battles?   It's not like Morek and Libero are played by NPC's that will stand still and expose weaknesses, those players know what they're doing too.

Economically, Morek and Libero have 6 times what Summerdale has.
Military strength, they have at least 4 times more.
They control the key regions complete with Militia.
It's like if there were two 15 year olds in a fight, then one's Pro MMA brother steps in to help.


Every player in Summerdale's military command knew that the last battle would likely be lost.   Not a certainly, but likely.   The alternative is to stand around until Morek and Libero feel like attacking, that doesn't sound fun to me.   Battlemaster is about RP, political intrigue and battles.   Not about whining or losing (misspelling intentional) and -definitely- not about jumping on forums to talk trash about your fellow players (although it happens way too often).  Yes, we're screwed... let's make the most of it and have fun.

Aye. Everyone joined Summerdale knowing full well they were going to get f*cked by a two-pronged invasion they're powerless to defend against. :P

Actually if "BUG" didn't happen on Mt Astrond and we had it as a defensible location it would have gone the other way :P
