Re: Something\'s Wrong
Actually, I did get the idea of COW from this game. The bickering back and forth and all the wheeling and dealing has been such fun. The deals never seem to go off as one would think, especially with 4 players involved. And it has been even better to be forced to stay in role while doing this, which we all have done (including QM).
While it is true that we had an alliance of Yarnspinners, we all knew that it could not last indefinitely and we were positioning ourselves for the long-term future of the game. Trying to get the first to commit to actually attacking the game leader was quite interesting to witness. Staking out claims on territory, the inevitable inadvertent mutliple attacks, all of this was very enjoyable.
I suppose I was most disappointed in the fact that most people in the game quit writing the yarns much too early on. Other than the spinners, it has been just another MP game for the most part.
The COW game was my idea to force people to keep active plus stay in role throughout the entire game without the chore of having to write a yarn every week. I hope it works out that way.
