Speaking of Noobs vs Vets, some things did run a bit smoother, and you'd think that message limit, if it was going to have been tested, would have been tested with 12 people on a team. It might have been, if certain strategies had been implemented.
There were a lot of things in this game we were not expecting/did not know about. Some may criticize and say "Well you should have known". They said this of Gandalf, that he should have known that people would upload all sorts of weird stuff to the server. They said this of myself, that I should have known that AIs cannot be customized and played via Llamaserver. They said it of ACGHHS, that they should have known about this 20 message limit. There are/were just a lot of unique and challenging circumstances in this first game.
Still, we've overcome these challenges and we must roll with the punches. We're human after all, sometimes we get caught up in micromanagement and details, sometimes we are blinded by our own biases, sometimes the desire to win at all costs blinds us, but we regain our vision and right ourselves in the end.
If we are biased in one way or another we seek the opinion of the majority to neutralize it. If we get caught up in details we take a moment to see the big picture. And if our zeal to win overtakes us, we are reminded of what we are really here for. Play enough team games and you will learn to how to work with all kinds of players. You will learn the importance of compromise and teamwork, and most importantly, you shall learn to take it in stride and just have a good time.
I say, put whatever frustration or anger you may have to good and constructive use. Take it out on your enemies in the game. Make them pay! Let loose those dogs! It is time for blood to flow! Where is it? Where is the blood?
