Grr, I'm finding LINESII to be more and more of a chore as I work on it. My schedule is starting to lighten up, it's still the summer, but I find my inspiration evaporating, superceded by a sense of duty to the ever-patient and wonderful people involved in the NES.
It's certainly my fault. I, like several others *nods at Daft*, have found myself caught up in increasing complexity. LINES was a small NES which didn't attract much attention, and came to a fairly definitive end. LINESII started off small, just a map a few centimetres wide. Now, it is a page in size, but I update at the same level of detail that I used to. I am faced with a dilemma: should I reduce the complexity of this intricate NES that we have crafted? I say that I will do this, but I, like others, repeatedly fail to significantly lower the quality *nods again to Daft*.
I think the most significiant thing is that I struggle in the massive, chaotic wars that routinely mash up large regions of Tellus. Currently, with New Veritas and company versus Anabetan Khemri, I have found myself hesitating for several days to get started. I am afraid to misinterpret elaborate orders, afraid to make mistakes.
