I didn't mean the "maybe you're bad" comment as an attack. I'm not good with internet speak and I forget that is such a prevalent troll. I don't know how to clarify what I meant beyond saying I only mean to encourage you to find another approach or view it from a different perspective.

As for the level playing field. I understand where you and many other players are coming from. However, I pose to that perhaps Carrion Fields isn't the game you think it is. It isn't a simple rock/paper/scissors or a game of chess with strict rules and full equality. It is a game meant to breed interesting roleplay with a heavy focus on conflict-driven "drama." You can't have that AND a level playing field, I don't think.

Carrion Fields needs its over powered individuals at times. None of it will ever play out perfectly and if it did that would detract from the "interesting" part of it. I don't want to play a text-based version of Call of Duty or Street Fighter. I want something complex and challenging. Super powerful villains and heroes alike, always with a chance to overcome. Even the biggest, baddest Twist/Daevryn/Whoever character is killable. Given enough time, preparation, and troops.

Just my personal take on it.
