Well, I've been thinking recently--I like Advance Wars more than the general mass of Mario games (Due to things like too many spinoffs, the Mario Party rape of the series, and so on. Of course, things like Galaxy and Mario vs. Donkey Kong are awesome, but a lot of it is somewhat poor). Anyhow, I'm thinking about quitting Super Mushroom Kingdom Wars and just starting a Blue Moon army in The Wars. I've played in every version of Super Mushroom Kingdom Wars so far, and perhaps it's time for a change of pace. Instead of making loads of frightening industrial technology as a bunch of Koopas, I want to...make loads of frightening industrial technology as some people. After finally reading the details of the awesomeness of Hachi's Black Hole army, I...kinda want an Advance Wars army. That, and...
I WANT A ROFLCOPTER AND A LOLROCKET
Edit: An' none of this "Just play both" business. I already spend too much time on the internet as it is.

Would it really be that hard to play both? I spend a fairly small amount of time on the internet, and I'm a fairly important member of 5 sites, not counting what I do on GFAQs. I think you could.
And no, I don't think you should quit. We have few enough players as it is. We don't need another player to drop this game.

Yes, it would be that hard to play both. Remember, I don't call a tech description "Complete" unless it's a paragraph. That's why I have a 50kb tech section, and another one won't do much for my time. Remember that I'm also in charge of Pikmin Wars, and the revised version will be starting up before long.

I know fully well about your activity with Pikmin Wars. And I'm saying that it shouldn't be that hard. Especially if they are both tech-based. That would make it easier as you'll already be in the mindset while writing the second one.

Well, the tech section is the big problem. I suppose I could just write much shorter tech/troop descriptions in SMKW...

Well then, it's not a matter of difficulty really, it's a matter of your obsessive nature to describe everything down to the shade of paint. The Wars was made as a DISTRACTION from SMKW, not as an entirely separate game.
If you write a paragraph on the more powerful things, that's fine! But you don't need to put as much effort into writing about a 20 Day scooter as you do with your 90 Day Massive-Mothah-Tank.

Simple, make a magic army.
Problem sovled. No technology.

My Bandit Group is magical primarily, and has way more planned for it than I have listed. Magic is not an easy fix for everything, no more so than technology.

He needs to do what Maka and I do when we joke then. And it doesn't seem particularly jokeish.

Yeah, that's the general reception I'm getting. Oh well, it's not like Advance Wars war machines are very complicated (You have your Tanks, your Artillery, your Bombers, and so on). I guess I'll just give 'em both a shot. If it sucks, I'll put one on "Hold," so to speak. Are there any changes that have happened to the Wars' rules that weren't talked about very much?

I think the battle system is being applied to the Wars. However, I think the Wars are fairly similar to how the last topic went, before DS. Probably before all the changes to the last topic, in fact.

I have a sense of humor. I also have personal experience with people seeing magic as an easy fix, which is something I dislike. Especially when they may technology out to be far more complex than magic.

Especially when they may technology out to be far more complex than magic. ... The joke was, WD had trouble giving descriptions of his tech. Rydon suggested Magic. Since Magic isn't technology, there wouldn't be a problem. And Merloo, your "sense of humor" needs to be advertised in bright and bold words beforehand to prevent arguments. ¬_¬
