KOTF OOC Thread

Very good points from all of you. It's sometimes good to state the obvious at the start.

Maybe for those who weren't with us during KotR. There was a time where my lowly avatar, who thanks to M2s freak rules was heir to the throne, was fighting in the same stack as the Kaiser himself. The player of the Kaiser, Warluster asked me to do some battles for him since he didn't have the time. Under the KotR rules this kind of subbing was still allowed. There were three encounters with Danish forces. The first two were the hardest fought and I wasn't even sure whether I should take on the third stack. Then I saw that it was mainly artillery and my force was far superior. During the battle itself I charged with my own bodyguard towards the hill where the artillery lay while the main army made a slow approach. I tried to keep the Kaiser safe. That was until he turned into a ball of flame from one lucky catapult shot! Mere seconds(!!) before the enemy army routed!

You do not want to know how shocked I was, and how tempted to just reload that stupid last battle. I really was. Here I had just killed off the avatar entrusted to me by a fellow gamer, who was the Kaiser(!!) and I incidentally pushed my own avatar to the position of Kaiser! I'm pretty sure Warluster was a little mad at me. But I didn't reload.

And if you look back at the timeline of KotR and all the events that transpired after the battle above, it would have been a royal shame had I truly reloaded.
