[QUOTE="Numion, post: 2958207, member: 124"] Sooo .. now for something completely different. I was browsing the fansites to better choose my vote. I came upon Yog-Shothoth, and stumbled on to the forums. I started reading this thread on why CoC isn't more popular, since I enjoyed that game in 90s, and even bought the d20 version. [url]http://www.yog-sothoth.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=5884&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0[/url] My hyperlink button doesn't work, so copypaste that to your browser. EDIT: IT DID! :) Anyway, I read the thread, etc .. and god damned the elitism of those people is just staggering! I can't count the times players of 'lesser' games (read = D&D) are referred to as munchkins, rollplayers, highschoolers who can't get dates .. D&D is equal to pokemon to them. All the while their own preferred game (BRP CoC) is free from such ills, and is only unpopular for the vast intellectual challenges it possesses, thus making it uninteresting for 90% population whose IQ falls below the required. These opinions, judging from postcounts, come from established members of that forum. The hostility and their delusion of mental superiority due to their preferred game borders on irony. I mean, did anyone ever get much dates because they were an advocate of cosmic horror instead of fantasy roleplayer? It's also ironic that message boarders of such supreme intellect completely miss the answer to their threads question (why isn't CoC more popular) while it's staring them straight in the face! (It's your own elitism and unwillingness to try to see what the masses enjoy in RPGs beyond your inane and sarcastic (and ultimately false) remarks of munchkinism and rollplaying). So Yog-Shothoth, you didn't get my vote. It would be a shame if a fan site with such closeminded community should get the award for best, well, anything. [/QUOTE]
