Maybe it's my fault.  I've attempted to be very open about what will happen, without stating that such things aren't a certainty, but rather, a likelihood.  I've provided so much information to players that is usually withheld, like, the overall map, enemy tactics, and the enemy stats, not to define the course of events as they<em>will </em>occur, but rather, to improve posting efficiency.  My end goal was never to overly restrict posts.<br/><br/>But at the same time, all D&D games that I've played in are set within particular boundaries, and in those particular boundaries, the players are bound to face off against the enemy.  As for the siege, when I gave people all of that information, instead of using that information to better fight the enemy within the boundaries of the map, players attempted to preclude the inclusion of the enemy on the map by using that meta knowledge to their advantage.  In a way, the rules I created for the siege were created to prevent the abuse of meta knowledge without my having to punish players for using meta knowledge in a way that I thought was unsporting.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=291898.msg14397896#msg14397896">Quote from: Chulanowa on 16-09-2018, 11:36:02</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">I hate to spiel and run, but really?
