[@Sergeant] Think of it this way- most of your posts and interactions will be just you, as a player character. 90% of your posts will be you controlling one guy. The other 10% of your posts will involve battle- and 90% of those posts will be your character's actions. The other 10% of those 10% of posts will be you detailing what the rest of your character's faction is doing. 

This way, I don't have to act as God and tell you what's happening at every part of the battlefield. You guys maintain creative control. By doing this, we can actually get a sense of the fleshed out battlefield, rather than a 1v1 perspective. It'll both keep in the spirit of Jordan's style, and it will allow us all to think with more strategy.

tl;dr: The only times you will control a faction will be [b]during battle[/b].

(I'm making these numbers up, btw. I have no idea what the actual ratio will be, but it will be along a similar tangent.)

[@POOHEAD189] I've got all the WoT books, including the extra info ones; we should compare notes.
