Game of Thrones game, Where for art thou?

[Greyblades]

I don't think you even have an idea of the workload those game's were for Beskie and myself, Greyblades. From what I've seen of the IH's, they are a different kettle of fish altogether, with each player controlling a faction. When each player controls a person acting within a faction, and all those character have separate orders the scope increases dramatically. That's not to say hosting an IH isn't a lot of work, by the way, just that the two can't really be compared. To give you an example, the last turn I did, with the battle at Whispering Sound, I spent virtually ten hours straight sitting at my computer doing the results, that's not even counting the night before when I did the actual calculations. Then when I ballsed up and people got upset, I flipped. My fault for taking on more than I could handle and letting down the players, who were a joy to work with most of the game.

So please don't describe it as "doable", belittling the efforts of Beskar and myself, when you really don't appear to have any idea what you are talking about. Not to sound melodramatic, but the org has never been the same for me since hosting it. I was disappointed with myself for not being able to keep it going, embarrassed at childish response to criticisms, annoyed that I fell out with members that I liked (though it's fine now), and frustrated at a lack of empathy for the effort I put in.

1. Don't get defensive with me, it's unwarrented and my rebuttle is not worth the damage it would do to our aquaintance.
2. It's doable because several people pulled it off in the Chapter House, Sofarsogood is doing it right now in the concert of europe game, they found a level of complexity that they could/can keep up with while keeping the game engaging, indicating that it is possible with a SOIAF game.
3. I am not here to piss all over your GM skills. If you want to take another stab at it, Great! If someone else wants a go, Great! If a group of people want to do it together to spread the load, Great!
I'm here to say that there is at least one person here who would like to play a game of thrones Interactive history style game. Dont jump down my throat over a percieved lack of grattitude.
