Message: <blockquote data-quote="green slime" data-source="post: 938306" data-attributes="member: 1325">There has been a tendency for staleness right towards the end, this is probably due to many factors:The DM wants to get it over and done with (understandable, after 6 months intensive "work") Perhaps DMs should work in teams? They'd have to located geographically together, and would perhaps even have to share an email address. This would speed up certain aspects. In the last game, seperate DMs could have handled the seperate map areas, and it is always good to have someone to discuss a ruling with. It would also make meshing in with real life much easier. But Where are these two dream DMs?Many are actually slow to start the slaying, due to overcautious behaviour during round one and two (which, because of the number of participants and the medium can take like a month or two). I fall into this category. For me, survivability is premium. Should this strategy be shunned?During the latter part, there can be a tendancy/desire to wait until a certain spell effect wears off, before tackling the last opponent on the field. While understandable, it makes for slow moving end game. This could probably be speeded up by requiring each of the participants to send in actions more frequently (daily, twice daily?) But you are correct in your basic assumption that during the early to mid rounds, that there is little need to interfere with the tension. Someone usually has a nerfarious plot up their sleeve.As a player there is far more tension, and guesswork going on than could possible be understood from an outside observer. (As soon as I saw the nimblewright illo, I thought: There's Norman!)Some people see the GoD for its spectator value. I know Agladan feels this way. Perhaps I can convince him to post here. He likes the spectaculor changes and unpredicatable events.BTW number47, when will we be seeing your GoD? You sort of suggested yourself as DM for one during this summer. Nearly summer now you know... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
