[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 7441343, member: 29398"] If the goal is to get to the summit at all, then losses along the way are fine as long as someone makes it to the top...and back down. Party goal beats individual character goals and the end justifies the means. If the goal is to get everyone to the summit and back down, that's a whole different approach which may lead to the overall goal not being achieved at all should it prove impossible to do so with all hands surviving. Individual survival beats party goal and the end takes second place to the means. Fine for a while but eventually it loses its appeal. Also, games like this tend to end up taking themselves far too seriously; to the point where laughter and entertainment are frowned upon and everything has to be high drama. No thanks. I'd rather play in a game where I can be entertained, be entertaining in return, and share some laughs along the way. This, exactly!
