@Shock: So you give up? I never admit defeat, even in the face of defeat.

@Stranger: Admitting that you are defeated is the easiest way out.

@Shock: Lost what? Can I help you find it?

@Mc: Nice. Gotta love those "YES!" moments.
Normally, when I get stuck, I avoid the topic until I can finally have my moment in which I discover what the hell I was thinking at the time.

@Scde2: Knowing when to stop wasting resources is also key. Not willing to stop a failed campaign makes you a failure, whether you are willing to admit it or not.

@Stranger: Resources are meant to be used or saved for a later time...Giving up nulls the resources before they are used.

@Shock: Never give up!

@Scde2: Exactly. You act as if admitting defeat once means you lose everything. That is rarely the case. Save your resources until they can be useful, not because you are unwilling to admit defeat.

@Mc: It is, but it will prove very useful, and entertaining later....hehehe....

@Stranger: But there is no need to stand up before a crowd and say "We are defeated."

@Shock: That's nice.

@Mc: If you say you are defeated, people lose morale.

@scde yes but if you dont, they'll still fight an unwinable battle and more will die

loss of morale vs. more death

which would you choose

@Scde2: I think MC sees what I am getting at.
Not admitting defeat can lead to remnants that would be much more helpful later being used up now.

@Mc: Thanks for the assistance. I am so split up in my attention right now.
