Game 141 AESR (Anonymous Exploratory Steel Rex)

[mafmiller]

Wow, this games write ups are fantastic, perhaps too informative. This has been the biggest eye opener to me as a new player on how the game can be run. The breakdown of what orders were written and when is to me the most comprehensive and informative game summery I have read. The other kingdoms/players also stepped up the game write ups as well and I wanted to say thanks for doing so. The only sad part is, part of my gaming died here as well, for the role play aspect is now gone and chess mentality is now the game for me in the future I think.

P.S. UN players, please add stats like were done in this UN game, it was really cool to see the level of agents in the game.

Don't drop the role-playing if that's what's fun for you. I too enjoy the role-playing. It makes for much more interesting conversation with the other players. It would be nice to win once (or even make the podium!), but for me that's secondary.

Most of the role playing is in my own head, rather than in how I deal with other players. In this game, I wasn't trying to conquer the world or build huge armies as the Underworld. I wanted to stay in the shadows and treat my kingdom asa thief and assassin guild. It made it more fun for me and I still managed to make the podium.

In my Witchlord game I named all the characters, including wizards and leaders, after my favorite fantasy/scifi characters. That is what kept me trying to rescue my L-3 Kaylee (from Firefly) the entire game after she was captured by the Dwarf. She went on to the Red and Ranger dungeons, but I was never able to rescue her. I spent 60,000 gold bribing guards too! I was pissed. I wouldn't have cared about her if not for the role playing.
