[QUOTE="William Ronald, post: 176229, member: 426"] Can someone convince me that this is not going to end in animosity and bitterness. I have seen people grumble when they lose NPCs, or a plan falls apart. Based on how people behave, I am afraid a lot of people are going to blame Edena and each other. You want to know what I see? Mutually assured destruction for practically everyone in the IR. People complaining that this plan or this tactic should have worked. I hear people talking about victory or seeing how a story ends. I do not see people commenting on the bad feelings that will likely be generated when pretty much the IR is reduced to one or two players. Yes, I think it will go down to that. I think a lot of people will leave this game with bad memories and bad feelings, and Edena will not be thought of well. Has anyone really thought why Edena is asking for a halt to this? He has his own feelings that I fear will be hurt when this falls apart. Morally, I have to vote for this to stop. Reading between the lines, I think this is not going to be fun for Edena. Participating should be done out of a desire for fun, not be an obligation. Perhaps we can stop thinking about our individual needs and consider everyone else. Especially our moderator. Don't you think he has very good reasons for asking why this should stop. He has worked harder on this than most of you likely imagine. I do not want his reward to be insults, bitterness, and bad memories. Can someone show me where my reasoning is flawed? [/QUOTE]
