I am actually going to pass. I see too many red flags and am concerned this game will be D.O.A.

I may be wrong, but I think the deal breakers would be the GM looking for a replacement to handle combat, and the GM wanting to play as player, not (just) the theme.

This is mostly correct.

The main problem is that you appear to be attempting to get someone else to GM the game for you. I was already under the impression that the combat was the primary reason that this game would even need a GM.

The other problem is that not only do you want to have a "GMPC", but you are also "Reserving" a theme; meaning that not only would you be playing your own game, but your civilization would be able to do things that other players cannot which is even worse. (I will cede that there is very little chance that anyone would want a Roblox theme though).

You also have a long history of immediately dumping the games you post, but I'm not using that as a reason.

websim.ai is coming dangerously close to being able to run Gridhood. Maybe I'll live to see the day if I exercise, eat right, and somehow convince the world's governments not to nuke everyone.

I think I'm going to withdraw from the game, The wanting to foist off Gming combat and the Gm wanting to play as a race is way too many red flags for me personally.
both of those are a sign of a GM that doesn't want to actually GM.

Well if I'm the only person even trying to make a faction at this point then yeah I'm dropping this as well, as much as I love the idea of a game with such an open theme.

Well gee. I feel a little guilty now.

I might consider making a game like this at some point, though it would take some time to completely rewrite the game mechanics.

I didn't mention I needed someone to do the war modding, I was just mentioning what would happen if someone volunteers for the war mod position.

You know, just to bring it up, regular troops will just have a simple HP system, which is: Alive, Injured, and Dead. For heroes, it's chunky salsa.

Probably would of played until I realized it was 0cra tr0per. Seriously though, the reason I'm not playing is mostly because a GM who does not want to GM is not a good GM.

EDIT: Happy now? :P

who the fuck is ocra

I've chosen a format that relies on players updating their stuff themselves instead of having a GM do so, as the Land Wars forum game is designed to have most GM intervention involve managing battles between civilizations, help players with specific game mechanics and designing stuff, and generally made to allow the GM to have spare time so the GM can do other things as well.
