[QUOTE="BryonD, post: 5754013, member: 957"] You said a lot. And I really don't have any dispute with what you said here. But you seem to have gone to a lot of words to not actually answer the question that was asked. If anything, you seem to be somewhat backpedaling with comments about how the statement was NOT well made. And you also strongly base your case on the implication that the previously discussed "if" qualifiers are understood. But from a straight reading that requires a very favorable spin. Which comes back to my point, the BEST case scenario is that it was written very poorly and neither James nor anyone else read back over and realized how poorly it was written. You description of what makes for a good game is all well and good. Take the words in question and put them in front of 1,000 random people and then have a poll. Your interpretation won't come close to being the conclusion of what was said. And, again, I don't consider it fair to judge 4E based on a few lines of advice. And I ABSOLUTELY concede your playing style and success with the system. But I also consider the overall context to support that the implications of this text hits closer to the heart of 4E than your personal spin on 4E does. I think the qualities you create say more about you than they do about the 4E mechanics. (that is intended to be read a a compliment to you, just in case the tone was lost...) [/QUOTE]
