[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 8144280, member: 82106"] When you accuse people of redefining terminology and 'seizing control' of something you implicitly declare to be 'yours' in essence (how else can seize control be interpreted) and then call it 'inherently derogatory', you are literally accusing those people of violating some 'right' you have and telling them to shut up, in no uncertain terms. You may not have INTENDED it that way. We're all just having a friendly conversation here, but it sure was a pretty easy reading. While I won't sit here and pretend I don't think that some level of 'narrative tools' and greater player participation in a game at multiple levels is not an advance over early 70's vintage techniques, nobody is claiming you can't play how you want. Nobody is even claiming that those techniques aren't perfectly OK if you want to run the type of game they were designed to run. I won't sit here and be told however that I cannot say that other techniques won't work better for most other types of play simply because you feel sensitive about that. Frankly I am not at all interested in what other people actually do, except in terms of how we discuss our experiences and what that says about the question at hand. Nobody is calling whatever you play badwrongfun. [/QUOTE]
