[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 5297177, member: 2525"] It's not evangelizing people who've shown no interest in the subject. They are reading the thread. They've shown the same interest as the people reading the PF thread. Azgulor repeatedly said he saw no reason to recruit for the edition you like, other than recruiting for your local game. He said mindshare has been gained, and games have been selected already. But then he said he would praise PF in a certain context which had nothing to do with recruiting for his local game. And it was a context for recruiting players to play PF in general (unless he thinks every person reading those "Why PF" threads are new players who have never played any version of an RPG - the "Why PF" thread is a recruitment-type thread). So I am saying whatever made him feel the desire to post in a thread like that praising PF, which is not a thread about recruiting for his own local game, it is a very similar feeling experienced by 4e fans posting about 4e in the threads that seem to confuse him. If, as he says, he really doesn't understand what motivates people to post in the threads he's talking about, I am pointing him the way to understand what is motivating those people. It's the same kinds of motives he seems to have for sometimes posting praise of Pathfinder. If he can examine his own motives for making those pro-PF posts, I think he can learn to understand the motives of some 4e fans as well. [/QUOTE]
