Wow, she's a higher level than your HQ? That really takes some dedication, hehe. But I think you've the right idea as to what's best for you. I just didn't want to see you give away your account and have some noodlehead sink your lovely ships!

I think that from a gamist perspective, Kancolle's fairly terrible, there really isn't a "challenge" to it and you can never outskill or outsmart it (though you can outstupid it sometimes~). In a way it's more like a garden than a game. If you give it attention, it's sure to grow, but you never know how much, or when the pretty flowers are going to bloom.*  It's impersonal, it doesn't matter who tends the garden as long as it's tended. At least Kancolle won't die if you stop watering it for awhile, hehe.

But the gardener does leave their impression on the garden, choosing what to plant and where. So too does a Teitoku choose the ships they'll train and the fleets they'll sortie. It's a bit like an airmchair command simulator in a frequently-hopeless war... wait, is E-2 an IJN top brass frustration sim!? That would explain everything!

(*I had an indoor violet that didn't bloom for five or six years, then I moved a couple miles from where I used to live and suddenly it had flowers year-round.  And then last spring it died.  During the whole time I had it I never really changed my care of it, the results were quite beyond my control.)

Ara, sometimes I wonder if I don't play this game just to think heavy thoughts about it~  Thanks for letting me share some of them with you! You sort of provoked it by saying you'd welcome a longer response, hehe.
