[QUOTE="Shasarak, post: 7766255, member: 94143"] If we use your roleplaying game analogy then how can we fight the BBEG when it was not even part of our unified plan for completing the campaign. And how can our party even act without considering all the possible permutations that might happen; without consulting with everyone else first to make sure that we have a consensus? Or what if we consider how many Astral Diamonds that our 1st level characters will have to pay for costs over the campaign? Who would even spend that kind of money or use that many resources? What are you going to do fire a 'Genesis Device' at the planet and let it magically terraform the planet? Meh, chances are you are going to need boots of the ground and unless one of them is Arnold Schwarzenegger and his alien terraforming machine, the whole process is going to take a while. So there is a USA section, a Soviet section and a European section that were all built off the same plans, the same 'unified' plan? No of course not. There is no such unified plan. Maybe you can explain to me the differences between Waterfall and Agile management and how they relate to the development of say Google following the unified business plan that Larry Page and Sergey Brin had from 1998? I am sure that the goals from 1998 are exactly the same as the goals from 2018 as nothing much has changed in the last 20 years. [/QUOTE]
