[Discuss] Favoritism for Old Rancagua again

[Timothy Collett]

Bugs happen.  If you were to try rebelling now (unless it's been  
fixed since the last I heard), you'd fail instantly, since there's a  
bug that makes rebels rogue just before the first battle.

But I guarantee you, 100%, absolutely, no exceptions, that no part of  
the code--none, not a single line--is written to favour one realm or  
denigrate another.  There is exactly one realm with **any** special  
code, and it's all flavour text and a single unit option ("Torture  
your men") for Outer Tilog in the Colonies.

If you think that Tom writes the code specifically to thwart your  
plans, then I have to say, you have an extremely inflated opinion of  
your own importance.  Tom doesn't care if your rebellion succeeds or  
fails.

Furthermore, if you have RP planned out that depends heavily on the  
outcome of something as uncertain as a rebellion--and they are  
*always* uncertain--and you get very upset when it doesn't go the way  
you expect, so you can't use your RP, you clearly don't understand  
the way BattleMaster works.  If you want to RP about the outcome of a  
major event like that, *write RP for both possibilities!*  I've had  
RP written in the past for several events that didn't end up  
happening, because I wanted to be sure I had everything covered.

The game isn't here for *your* enjoyment.  It's here for *everyone's*  
enjoyment.  If you want to play the game, you have to learn to live  
with its chances--and its shortcomings.

even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor  
spirits who neither enjoy much or suffer much, because they live in  
the gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat."
