Nephi RPG Thoughts
A mini-journal of things learned...
Within this thread ONLY the player in the Nephi RPG may post about his character and what they have personally learnt as they have ventured to the Promised Land. this thread is not for discussion or to give hints about the game.
I am finding this a bit difficult.
Chapter 1, a very challenging piece of work. Some subtle doctrinal and scriptural questions, but I eventually passed it. However, only after researching, and documenting every one of them.
Chapter2 wasn't so difficult, but then I also researched and documented each question and answer.
Chapter 3 was interesting, as it provided a lot more geographic context than I had seen before for the Book of Mormon. This one was a lot more difficult to research. However, the first time through, I only missed one question, and had a pretty good idea which one it was. The particular question I missed was one of those where I thought either of two answers would work. I changed to the other answer, and I had it finished.
Now I am on chapter 4. I'm stuck. This one may actually take a bit of time. Not because it is doctrinally challenging or anything, but because it takes a very fine hand with the mouse. Which I no longer have.
We'll see if I can get through this one at all.
Still stuck on chapter 4.
May I make an observation? I always understood that by learning to follow Christ, or to focus on Him, we would experience LESS stress and anxiety, not MORE!
I am finding this exercise to be very hectic. (BTW, I finally broke the 200 point mark)
Well, I finally got through chapter 4, but only because the GM adjusted the required score. I finished with a score of 204.
Update:
Now that I have finished chapter 4, the program can't figure out where I am! I can't start chapter 5.

Well, I've finished chapters 5 and 6. Not too bad.
5 takes a careful reading of the scriptures in some places, but not terrible.
6 is a bit more interesting. Good thing I love that type of challenge. Maybe I should have been a photo interpreter in the Air Force. But then again, maybe not. I could see getting a real headache from doing that all the time.
As I move forward, I begin to build a righteous kingdom. I see that it will be difficult to carefully build, while teaching and guiding in righteousness and humility.
A small standing army will provide basic security, while a well-built city may provide me with a good defensive posture. Of course, the most difficult part is going to be guiding the people towards righteous living and helping all of us to maintain humility. Pride is definitely the most likely downfall of my beautiful kingdom.
