[QUOTE="Aus_Snow, post: 2738512, member: 29112"] Well, three things there. Firstly, there is a *world* of difference between "best" and "only", particularly when you have stated that someone else was claiming the one ("only"), when in fact they were only ever claiming the other ("best". . . well, actually 'better' would be the correct interpretation). [I]Please consider this fact[/I]. Secondly, reducing magic (for example) does not necessarily mean reducing power, per se. Check out Iron Heroes (by Malhavoc Press), as a highly visible current illustration of that point. Oh and last but not least, you go on to in fact try to prove certain things to me in the following ways, to which I will respond honestly, each in turn: Hm, I think you are taking paraphrasing to the next level there, but hey - I'll bite. I have certainly said that (IMO) certain types of game/ruleset and therefore also certain 'meta' assumptions therein lend themselves better to horror, and certain others do not lend themselves so well to it. That's the extent of it though. That's right. I would stand by those statements as holding true, now as then. Note that I have not resorted to the use of absolutes. That was not (as you may have assumed) to mince words, or conceal a dubious agenda or um. . . whatever else. It was simply because those statements taken to their logical extremes (or illogical ones, I suppose) would not be representative of my beliefs in the slightest. I wasn't intending to be ambiguous. Read above. But OK, as for the rest: Fair enough! I respect your right to [I]your[/I] opinions, too. That was never in doubt. I disagree of course with some of them (and I'd be surprised if you didn't know that by now), but as long as you realise and acknowledge that it is just opinion on your behalf (for example, "five out of ten" - where's the evidence?! ;)) - as it is on my own, I can't see any reason why we need argue further.
