[EB] Whats Wrong?

Getai are probably the only barbarian faction that can take on the steppes.

Well, that's a fatuous argument. If you're too impatient to fight against steppe armies, then chances are you won't have any fun fighting against steppe armies. Why should anyone be forced to fight a battle they won't enjoy just because... uh... someone else wants you to?

No one is trying to rob steppe players from their opportunity of having fun, but you are trying to guilt trip players to fight battles they don't enjoy playing. If someone doesn't want to play against a steppe army, then that's fine. He doesn't have to, so respect that decision. If no one else wants to play against a steppe army either, then that sucks for the guy playing steppe, but c'est la vie.

I would actually prefer a Swiss system, but that would take a long time to organize, and people aren't always available. Lacking such a system, I intend to name and shame people who won't steppe outside their comfort zone, especially for impatient people - or people who just never try. I don't know about LazyO but personally I want to play against every faction (well not western barbarians necessarily), to test my own skills and the strengths of the steppes against the best everyone has to field, and I find people who take such attitudes extremely frustrating.
