So my Saturday group had been complaining about NEEDING to be everywhere in the game world to solve all the problems. I explained to them, that every conversation will always have someone saying, "I need this done quickly" but that doesn't mean it has to be done immediately. And so that's why you guys never take down time.
So while they were stuck somewhere, I went ahead and rolled some events so that another ally group of theirs solved a problem they couldn't get to. And the result.... while the problem was solved, it very much made certain things worst.
