I'm just sayin', if I was a player myself I would find it slightly annoying to have someone 'recommend' me every possible thing I might or might not do or pick.
Well, in a strategic game like this, it's really helpful to have everyone following a unified plan. That requires having a leader to come up with the plan. Lorric's essentially volunteered to do this, and people have been willing to freely follow his suggestions and not complain about it.
OK then - I won't be a silent minority any longer. I'm finding it slightly annoying. Lorric, can you please present your plans more as suggestions/discussion points than orders? Could you please also not interpret this as a personal attack? I have a problem with the behaviour, not the person. Also, your plans so far have been good. I'm just concerned about you coming up with a plan that I don't agree with.
Lepanto - except for the bolded part, I agree with your post.
You surprise me. Truly, of everyone outside Lepanto if I'd been asked to identify someone who had a problem with this I'd have gone through each and every one of the other players first until your name was the only one left. I thought we'd been chatting pleasantly about such things. I have been trying hard not to come across as giving orders, so I don't know what you want me to do, or why you have a problem. Especially if you like my plans.
If I come up with a plan you don't agree with, we should just discuss it.
I have thought about the possibilities. If people don't like one of my plans then it won't get followed, it'll be simple as that. If there are two conflicting plans, I would think there should be a vote, and the plan that wins that vote should be followed. Everyone working to a plan rather than as individuals is best if you ask me, so I'd go along with the other plan if my plan was voted down. If most people are following a plan, surely it would be best for the remaining others to follow it too.
