@Kanye-Qwest I did say something along those lines, but I can't find the exact post. I believe it was in the context either of conflict, or maybe new players?

In either case, while I still think it's a good idea, and while it is something that Shav did on RfK that I think really helped to keep conflict positive, I don't think it's necessary for an active game.

I also don't think that checking on how players are doing constitutes as babysitting. (Falling into education analogies here, sorry) If I give my students a worksheet of math problems and then go around the room and do a spot-check on number #10 to make sure they're doing OK, they're still working on their own. I'm not standing over their shoulder and babysitting them while they work, but I'm still able to make adjustments and corrections before things go completely off the rails.

And no, I still don't think short 'how you doing? Anything you need?' conversations are horribly time consuming or prohibitive, but I understand we'll disagree on that until someone actually tries that.
