Effective at the end of Turn 9, I am reorganizing the map campaign due to lack of participation by all players currently involved. Going forward, the map campaign will be reduced to ten players – these being players who have made some attempt to participate at least 6 out of the 8 weeks this campaign has been going on.
If this were more of an informal win/loss or pyramid style league, it could be overlooked more, but because of the much higher degree of complexity of the map campaign, a much higher standard for participation becomes necessary.
Organizing and getting ready for the map campaign took 30+ hours of prep time on my part, and I spend 4 hours every weekend going through the e-mails, doing the turn resolution, updating the map, and writing the summary (usually with Mrs. Carnivean scowling at me after the third hour goes by and I’m still not done yet)
Right now I just can no longer justify continuing to put in that kind of time every week only to have less than ten of the fifteen players I’m doing this for participating consistently.
So moving forward, the map campaign will be reduced to the following ten players:
Dr. Carnivean
Duke G
Sionnach (Brian)
Apothecary Bob
Ehecatl (Rod)
Mekaniak (Arlin)
Gretchen Mike
Hivemind Bob
Bob
Evan
The map has been adjusted to reflect the reorganization and each of the remaining players have had their territories increase by two – note that some shifting around of territories was required to achieve this. Please note the new positions on the map.
To those five who have been dropped from the campaign, I hope you can understand the need for doing this, and that there are no hard feelings. I look forward to playing with you all in pick up games at the store and in future Ordo events.
