LostSoul, I am sorry to hear that you broke your own rules to make that decision (!), but those were your rules, not rules necessary to simulationist play. I have had quite a few occurrences which, I guess, would have broken your rules for what you imagine sim should be like, over years of game...

Morrus'? :p

Only on Midsummer Nights. Then they're a dream.

Football

Golf ball.

Funnier than I was expecting, too! :lol:

If I suggest that you replace term X with term Y, because term Y is "more accurate", it clearly should mean "more accurate than term X, for what you are trying to be accurate about when using term X". And, in this case, I stand by my previous statements. Bullgrit's suggestions are not more...

Any world without Waterdeep? :p

I go to Ravenloft. After all, the mists have offered me my own Realm! (And, really, you can't refuse the mists. I mean that literally. You can't.) RC

Re: Fantasy Narcotics The biggest flaw in the BoVD drugs was that there was little reason for a PC to actually make use of those substances. That is a real limitation on what is likely in a simulation-based game, and I note that pemerton resolves the problem the same way I did -- drugs that...

Bullgrit: I made a humour thread to avoid spamming this thread with that sort of thing. Vespucci: Feel free to describe balls in my humour thread.

No worries. In a way, though, I'm sorry you editted. If you had not, I might have some idea what "word-trap" you're talking about! :confused:

(1) The idea that the GM was "wrong" in the OP to follow through on the obvious consequences of the dwarf PC's actions. (2) "the GM is not going to 'gotcha' the player". (3) Mitigation occurs any time you say "X is okay, but not Y" as a consequence. That is what the term means. That you...

Really? I've never seen that argument once. I have, OTOH, seen an argument about the degree to which the rules assume the use of miniatures, and the level of expectation that minis are being used. Perhaps your concern with the OS/NS discussion isn't based on that discussion at all, but rather...

Frankly, I don't even know what you are trying to ask me here. I mean, I simply cannot believe that you are unaware that various methods of conveying thought can be more effective than one another based upon situational context? And, if that is not what you mean, then you have provided an...

Let's try a definition exercise. Pick a type of ball, (or five), from any sport and identify its characteristics without any reference or use of the sport. Is the ball round? Does it bounce? Is it soft? Is it hard? Is it stitched? Describe the ball in any way, in as much detail or...

Yes. But the point has nothing to do with the type of statement, and everything to do with how information is parsed, and judgments made. And there is no difference there, despite being statements of different kinds. "Better"? Would it be "better" for me to say "cheddar" or "cheese"? Would...
