[MENTION=22779]Hussar[/MENTION], I would strongly appreciate it if you would stop constructing strawman arguments with my name attached and insisting that I am strongly saying anything that we both know you can't back up with evidence. It's rude and you're being a dick. Thankfully, I'm confident that [MENTION=85555]Bedrockgames[/MENTION] will exercise more sense than to bite at your misrepresentations of what I have said.See, ok, [MENTION=85555]Bedrockgames[/MENTION], but, what you're talking about is vocabulary choice. Fair enough. But, [MENTION=5142]Aldarc[/MENTION] has insisted, pretty vehemently, all the way along that vocabulary choice doesn't matter. And, you have never contradicted him. So, are you disagreeing with [MENTION=5142]Aldarc[/MENTION]? It appears that you are, but, I want to be very sure.
It's not about "blurring dualities". It's that your side of the argument isn't quite as clear as you might think. It's confusing. You're saying that vocabulary matters. Aldarc is very strongly saying that vocabulary doesn't. So, which is it?
Now, me, I think I agree with you - vocabulary matters. Now, you don't think there's much value in using an extended vocabulary - that you "don't use big adjectives". Fair enough. That's where you and I disagree. I think that most DM's actually do slip into "big adjectives", mostly subconsciously, depending on what game you happen to be playing. But, [MENTION=5142]Aldarc[/MENTION] would say that we're both wrong and that "big adjectives" ISN'T what delineates conversation from boxed text.
And, frankly, if vocabulary isn't the delineating element, I'm at a loss as to what is. What separates conversational language from prose language if it's not vocabulary choice? Is it false starts and repetition (both hallmarks of conversation vs reading)? What?
