King of the Romans OOC thread XII

You fought Xdeathfire's battle? Or do you mean you marched Wolfgang all the way to Caen and attacked them, with Xdeathfire as reinforcements?

[edit]
That would be the second player-led defeat we ever had in KOTR. First being mine :)

Ignoramus, why did you fight Xdeathfire's battle for him? People should only fight their own avatar's battles, unless they are acting as proxies for someone unable to fight for some fairly long term OOC reason.

I'm kinda split on this, yes we won, but Xdeath did not fight, as we really agreed on: no proxies.

I'd say refight only your own battle. If Xdeath wants to fight let him do so.

OverKnight told me to fight Xdeathfire's battle, so I did.

All right, sorry for giving you grief over it. You were just doing what you were told and did an impressive job on Xdeathfire's behalf.

We'll play on, but Overknight, I think there was a consensus a while back to get tougher on proxies - hence the active duty list.

I still say refight, if we agree on something, we agree on something, end of story.

**econ21** · 09-01-2007, 14:33

Stig, if I thought Xdeathfire would be annoyed by this, I would say re-fight too. But he has had to fight a lot of battles in France and in general seems fairly relaxed/busy, so I suspect he will be cool with it.

I think it's a bit like those football refereeing decisions, where you let things play on to keep things rolling smoothly rather than stop and start over minor things.

Let's try to avoid another repetition, though.

I did no such thing. I asked you to sally out of Paris.

You are now in command in Paris. Repulse the siege.

That was the extent of your orders.

Ignoramus, go back and fight a sally out of Paris. Do not fight anyone else's battle. If you get it done in 24 hours I'll go on from that. If not, I will autoresolve from Tamur's upload.

In this case I'd say let Xdeathfire play his own battle.
And Ignoramus can fight his battles again, ensuring he gets defeated by the second stack (again) to bring us up to date.

Here's the PM I sent to people,

Please see this post. Xdeathfire's battle is very much optional.

I guess Ignoramus assumed he was the only recepient and inferred he was to take Xdeathfire's battle. Of course when I pull stuff like that I'm a bit more verbose.
