Joe Long - 07/16/00 18:22:50 My Email:joseph2112@webtv.net Like My Website?: Yes I do like your site | Comments: Maybe this is bad sportmanship . As a somewhat expert player . My encounters of many players has left a bad taste in my mouth . I find only a handfull of players who will be willing to help you . Also found a handfull that decieve you at will . This part of the key of the game . My future in these games is now being question . Thanks to both John Holts and you . I got much more insite of the game. I try my luck with Orc vs dwarves . Even thou it is my first game in Fr#144 . I deagree with you about team playing . At lease I have 49 more allies . Where as in forgotton realm even your allie has turn agaist you . I had it happen so many times . Thanks for time . Wolf the Great |

Charles - 07/13/00 05:02:31 My Email:DancingYeti@aol.com Like My Website?: yes What would like to see more of?: more alternatives | Comments: I would like to see alternative strategies discussed - is it possible to win without magic-users? Can one win with only 1 or 2 hitpoint units? Are 5 Heavy Infantry as good as 4 Pike or 12 militia? Are two militia better as scouts than 1 Lt. Cav? |

Mac McLey - 07/11/00 00:54:53 My Email:mmcley@juno.com Like My Website?: Yes What would like to see more of?: As prev suggested, something on the starting location. Different starts would see appropriate? | Comments: I like you site. Have been aware it for a couple of years. I have played a Master Thief in a couple of campaigns. I think that they give an advantage in rough terrain. I think that that will make up for a less powerful HP or AM |

Wolf the Great - 04/14/00 11:27:49 My Email:Wolfie2112@webtv.net Like My Website?: Yes I do like your site. It will help the first time players out. What would like to see more of?: A simple chart formula Suggestions?: Down below | Comments: A simple formula for us first timers. Mainly a attack stack unit with so many magic pts;so many missle pts; then so many melee pts. That way we will know what we need to attack that force with. This help the first timer. Example: Attack force is 2 Human priest;With 3 Cal Archers; with 2 pike units;with leader--lord Defense force is 6 human archers;with 2 light cal -------------------------------------------------- Now say the attacking forces is two turns from defense force.Now what can the defense add to encounter to survive the battle? See my point. Logic will be the cheapest way possible. What do you think? |

Joe Long - 04/07/00 21:36:18 My Email:joseph2112@webtv.net | Comments: I have played forgotten realms for about the seventh game.I do struggle just like any other new player. I try with only friendship games. It seem that you last a little longer.But if go up agaist an experience. You normally donot stand a chance.This where you have to depen on your allies. I just took my first lair. To me it was three whoppie-does.Have not taken the others yet. I believe that it key of this game. Somehow an experience can muster an army up more faster than any other player.Surely there is a way a person can do the same ?I struggle to invest build my army, and defend hometerriory. As for items. I just wrote to john holts. He reply that the spacing is easy to count.I tell ya that it is still hard to read.Well I will try to read his chart. Well I will close now. You do a good job; aswell john holts in explain the main subjects. |

| Furchtlos - 04/10/99 19:37:57 My Email:Furchlos@webtv.net Like My Website?: somewhat Suggestions?: Mr. Wong is not a gaming genius, I play in FR64 with him. His army is taking quite a beating. |
Comments: In addition to your tips and hints-I have found that using your avatar to give a bonus to the rest of your army and to give bonus hits is most effective. With the bonus hits, if you have 100 units in an army with something/someone that gives bonus hits y u have 100 more hits in the army. I have been laying this game for 3 years now and I find enhancing your entire army and making the army more effective is better than having a great general. |
| Lee DeBoer - 04/08/99 06:13:15 My Email:rockport@telusplanet.net Like My Website?: Yes What would like to see more of?: Avatar development sheets |
Comments: You might want to include a section on how avatar points are calculated. Appreciated the stats. They printed off nicer than the ones I got from John Holt's site. People may want to give an analysis of the different Realms. I am playing R22 and have fou d it isolated and with small communites. As a note, Stonyton was an orc town in the game I am playing. |

| Geoff Hrach - 03/27/99 16:14:57 My Email:candg@en.com Like My Website?: Yes. I find it very useful. I'll wager it's especially useful to newbies. What would like to see more of?: Victory reports. Suggestions?: How about a "my favorite unit or my most memorable battle " section? |
Comments: I give you credit for all the work you've put into this site. I follow the server so I'm familiar with your status as "Sage of Waterdeep". I do agree with your comments re: ODS. As R71 I can attest to how tough it is for an Orc to survive in a Dwarf world One thought I have is it seems to me that there are a lot more good aligned comms in the game then evil ones which make it hard to make large stacks when the race factor kicks in and it does as I know. Be talking to you. Geoff |
| Bob Sanderson - 03/15/99 20:04:59 My Email:bobsanderson@yahoo.com Like My Website?: Yes What would like to see more of?: Game subtleties |
Comments: Good website. I would perhaps add a page for Avatar design and a page of game subtleties like: 1)Is there initiative in combat or simaltaneous attack? I've seen mutual annihilations so I conclude it must be simaltaneous attack. 2)Tablet distribution. Does one tablet typically appear in north, and other in south? Is the right place always a city or metropolis? What is the average turn for the Right Time? 3) Exploiting the Sequence of Events (e.g. Allying and Opposing a player on the same turn) 4) Exploiting standing orders (e.g. giving a unit with a standing Advance order a Move order too. 5) Exposing cheaters (Reveal players who are playing multiple "Stooge Realms", looting their treasuries, using the second realm's armies as mercenaries, and stealing map location info, etc. |

Comments: Great site,I am having a hard time finding sites with FR PBM info. Are there any other sites I can go check out, that you are aware of, besides John Holt's that is(yours is MUCH better!!). I would like to see a list of winners from the FR games already played,as well as those also-rans if possible. Also a list of "mentors" that have ideas or proven strategies (good or bad)on the way to play this game(or NOT)would be very nice. Are you still active in any FR games? Well all for now,keep up the good work, I for one appreciate it very much. THANKS!!! |
