\'\'\'Scenario 1:\'\'\' \

\\\'\\\'\\\'Scenario 1:\\\'\\\'\\\' \\\"Both our northern and southern approaches are likely to be attacked. The north contains the largest enemy force, therefore that is where I, as the most seasoned battle commander, shall position myself. I shall position the next-best man [whomever he considers that to be, it\\\'s not really relevant] at the base of the wall to command in the event of an attack from that direction.\\\"

\\\'\\\'\\\'Scenario 2:\\\'\\\'\\\' \\\"Both our northern and southern approaches are likely to be attacked. The south is the more vulnerable approach, therefore that is where I shall position myself. I shall position the next-best man at the top of the wall to command the main defense.\\\"

Either one would have been a valid strategy. What\\\'s \\\'\\\'not\\\'\\\', and therefore what counts as an IdiotBall, is,

\\\'\\\'\\\'Scenario 3:\\\'\\\'\\\' \\\"Oh, shit! Wildlings are attacking exactly where it is totally obvious they will attack from, yet I am caught by surprise because I am an idiot! I have allowed my most vulnerable approach to be attacked without a clear command structure to organize the defense, and now I shall waste valuable time during the most critical moments of our defense riding an elevator so that I can command them myself!\\\"

We\\\'re now going in circles making the same arguments at each other. If anybody has any actually new arguments or any input on the wording of the entry (currently-planned wording is in a previous post), now is the time.
