The fog of war is a separate issue when it comes to communications. I am driven mad by some players quoting city/town/village/camp names and expecting the rest of us to know them. No - some of us have a life and don’t memorise every location within Middle earth. Easier just to ignore those cries for help when I have no idea where my fellow player is having his grand party.
I guess that’s not a vote against, just more of a plea for players to be clear and specific in their missives. Us dinosaurs just amble along, sometimes needing to be led by the nose and/or pointed in the right direction. In fact, if you treat all your fellow players as idiots you probably won’t be too far wrong!
Sorry to those of you who are totally on the ball - maybe it’s just my team every time. Or maybe, even worse, it might just be me who’s the dufus.
Chris.
There’s still an enormous amount of fog of war!
And miscommunication… I’ll tell you about
one game when it’s over to do with an attack!

For me, part of the fun of gunboat games is the
increase in the “fog of war�. I’m playing
a gunboat game at the moment that has no diplos
and I’m enjoying it more than the games with diplos.
Maybe I’m just sociopathic.

Why stop the diplos? I think they add a little
to the game, no info can be boring especially for
nations such as 3/7 combo etc that have limited access to Mages/Palantirs.
Clint
I don’t think we should increase the word
limit. If anything, we should stop the diplos.

Well that’s true but any advantage is good. I
generally find that the DS communicate more.

The problem isn’t the word limit, the problem is that we are lazy.

Okay so one vote each way. What I find is that
players truncate their messages to make them fit 30 words.
I also want to encourage more players using it.
Clint
I think it is an excellent idea.
Allows for sharing a bit more intel and a bit
more of a plan for those that like some coordinating.

I’m pondering upping the limit from 30 words to 50 words in all GB
games. Any thoughts on that? About 3/4s of the players use this
messaging system…
