I just realized what bugs me about Warlords . . .

[Shortman McLeod]

Well, the warlord *is* a commander. It's a class that fills the Leader role; it leads the party.

If you, me, and Bob get in a room and decide to work on a project, and we all elect for Bob to schedule tasks and monitor timelines--in other words, we make Bob the manager--then that's pretty much the same thing. The title "Warlord" is equivalent to "Manager".

Oh my dear Lord (forgive the pun). So now we're saying that an office manager is a "warlord"? I guess you also think the manager at the local McDonalds is a "warlord" too, then?

Sorry, but this thread has just gotten to the point of absurdity. Ordinarily I enjoy absurdity as much as the next guy, but my continued participation in this thread would push the boundaries of my absurdity tolerance. It's starting to feel like a Kafka story or something.

But by all means, please carry on . . .
