Can you guys stop sitting here speculating about the god damn game and play it?
This is a game of medieval nobles who do the things medieval nobles do. Sitting here and saying man I really wanna break up X alliance or destroy Keplerstan doesn't help the game. That's metagaming and doesn't hold true to the original spirit of a comprehensive RPG because you're fabricating character motivations from your personal desires. Sitting here and grumplaining about what people are or aren't doing isn't going to help anything as well. If your character is such a scaredy cat he won't do anything exciting kill him and make a more ambitious character. There's so many !@#$%^&s in this game it honestly astounds me what you people are like in person sometimes.
Things are never as simple as you want them to be when other people are involved. Crying "man but you guys should've done this because this and this and this and gosh you guys are so stupid and are ruining the game" only makes you a massive !@#$%^&.
Play the god damn game instead of complaining at Panda that CE should've done this or that or gosh you guys are ruining everything and why don't you like the things I like. And if you can't, stop playing the game and consider picking up another hobby. Why do you think people are leaving? Do they really want to play this game with you? It's really testing my patience because besides the strategy/risk players half of you want to play TeaPartyMaster, some of you want to play Le Epic Adventure Game of Thrones XXDDD and very few people want to play a god damn internally consistent RPG about medieval nobles in a low-fantasy setting.
You're dealing with other people here guys. Real people. With jobs and stuff they do and families and friends and feelings and thoughts. If they don't like the things you like, deal with it.
