Message: <blockquote data-quote="Campbell" data-source="post: 8166052" data-attributes="member: 16586">Quick Clarification : I meant lazy in the sense of lazy evaluation of a function. Meaning delayed until absolutely necessary. I meant no particular judgment in that. As contrasted with active engagement where picking up the dice and engaging with the game's mechanics is an exciting part of play.I do not aim for objectivity in discussions. I aim for precision. I strive for everyone to know exactly what I mean. We're talking about something incredibly subjective. I could not be objective about it if I tried so I just try to share my perspective as precisely as possible so we can get to the interesting parts of the discussion. I leave it to you to provide for your perspective.I am software engineer with a business degree working in the medical billing industry. I live and breathe in complex sets of specialized vocabulary. Some of it quite opinionated and do not mind engaging in a robust discussion of opinions.What I personally eschew is debate and rhetoric. I do not think interesting conversations come from attempting to convince people of things, particular in a debate club format where winning the debate overtakes any sense of intellectual curiosity. If you think I am mischaracterizing how you play please tell me how. When I speak about mainstream or traditional play I am not speaking directly to the way you play or even fairly common GM authority structures. Rather my sense of the generalized play culture which I might be wrong about. I find providing an unfiltered perspective often leads to more honest and possibly interesting conversations then not sharing my personal feelings.</blockquote>
