Yes, you do know the leaders skills, but you do not know how they translate into combat outcomes. LCU combat, for instance, is one big black box. So yes, your available data input is many times greater than they had in RL, but you can only guess how all this data affects combat situations.

Lot of discussion for what is a very simple answer:

The players role is to have fun!

You are not your job, you're not how much money you have in the bank. You are not the car you drive. You're not the contents of your wallet. You are not your f***ing khakis. You are the all singing, all dancing crap of the world.

When C-boy waxes poetic, I get all existentialist.

My first thought: has Andre been nipping at the vermouth?

No I think he's doing a martini minus the vermouth. Probably minus the olive as well.[:D]

You guys need to review your fine cinematic performances of the last 20 years. Tyler Durden is my hero.

I have had a change of heart. With all those balancing discussions, WITP AE clearly is a surfing simulation. I took it wrong for years.

OK. My first thought was "who the .... is Tyler Durden ?" . Having never seen fight club , I found out what you were talking about. And came to the conclusion that maybe you really do need that time on a beach. [:D] Just maybe not a "nude beach", where you meet other strange and unusual people. [X(] And go ahead and have that gin. Better yet , make it a double. [:D]

So we need to demand that Matrix acquire the rights to the "poop" emoji from Disney so we can use it to represent players of this game?
I doubt Disney would be sympathetic to our needs.
The subsequent post about using liquid brain addlers seems more doable.

The first rule about the film "Fight Club" is: you should go see the movie "Fight Club". The second rule about the movie "Fight Club" is...oh never mind. [;)]
