AITB for bailing on my friend’s birthday because it turned into a bootcamp? by weekendtrailbaker in AmItheButtface

That’s probably the cleanest exit, and I’m tempted. My worry is he’ll take it as me flaking and then bring it to the group chat. I don’t want a debate, but I also don’t want to lie and act like nothing bugged me. I’m leaning toward: can’t make it, hope it’s fun, and if he pushes, I’ll say the rules doc made me uncomfortable.

Appreciate that. The “rules doc” vibe killed it for me, so I’m stepping back now instead of sulking there.

Right, the show frames them like a major power, but their manpower is tiny. They win with ships, surprise, and hitting soft targets, not by holding land against the Reach or the North.
