[QUOTE="JohnSnow, post: 2390799, member: 32164"] Not that Mike needs me to defend him but this one is out of line. He said there's "an element" of rebellion at work. In some cases, he's right. So, basically, I'd say you agree. Patronizing is labelling all gamers who like more complex rules as having, how did Ace put it, "less social maturity and dispute resolution skills" and not being able to "handle a more complex social contract." Given that, I think it's fair to say that the patronizing attitude has been flying both ways on this thread. I'm pleased to see that Moogle and Todd's exchange has proved fruitful. And I retract any derogatory comments about the folks at Troll Lord Games that don't have to do with them calling my preferred style of game "immature," "boring," "dull," or "in conflict with the basic idea of the game." Just because they can't incorporate the rules and play an immersive game doesn't mean there's anything inherently wrong with those rules. My two cents. EDIT: and better and more succinctly put by Moogle while I was writing this.. [/QUOTE]
