[QUOTE="Sunseeker, post: 7445036"] No, you just prended I said something I didn't. Your disagreement with my post is irrelevant. Balance is possible from a mathematical standpoint. The fact that some people [I]don't like[/I] what that outcome may look like is irrelevant to the fact that balance is indeed possible. Please tell me you did not just [I]seriously[/I] argue that "Some people ignore the rules and play the game differently, so that makes balance impossible." Some people also ignore the law. That doesn't mean the law isn't necessary. Jesus this just gets dumber with every post. Yes, "the game". No, you can't account for what people do at home. Anyone who thinks "the game" can balance for that is insane, or wants some kind of TTRPG Police State. I never argued that you can balance everyone's table. I argued you can balance [I]the set of rules known as "the game" that they are all playing[/I]. The discussion is a lot more productive when people get other people's arguments straight. "The Game" IS the mechanics. What people add to the top of that is completely beyond the control of The Game. But The Game can still at least start with a balanced base before rogue individuals add their toppings. Only street racers make this comparison, and you'll notice that among the various types of racing that are considered sports, that is: objective balanced games that can be judged and played in fairly, [I]street racing is not one of them[/I].
