[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 8375712, member: 23751"] Resembling is irrelevant. Almost nothing that doesn't involve magic or the supernatural that you can come up with would fail to resemble some crappy and biased part of the real world history. A coincidental resemblance doesn't matter. And no, I've never referenced part of a war that happened in the real world. There's no need and it would just detract from the game. I've never had to reference Custer's Last Stand or the Battle of the Bulge. No I don't. I've never had to stop a game when there was a murder and acknowledge the real world at all. None of the bolded stuff connects it to any real world thing, though. Having a PC interview witnesses and talk about guilt and motive don't form a connection to the O.J. investigation. Do we have the real world to help us understand what terms mean? Yes. That's language. Does that connect it to the real world versions of those things? No. There's no connection to any real world event. For some races the racial bonuses are an important part of type. Just not for all of them, or really even most of them at this point. Dude. First, you twisted my statement about all races into a statement about a half dozen. Second, I said before that without racial bonuses the races are incomplete and missing an[B][U] important[/U][/B] part of their racial identity. Remove that piece and you might as well just go all the way. Your perspective is relevant to you only. It has no relevance to what I'm saying. If you try to apply your perspective to my words, you are going to continue to get what I'm saying wrong. Don't do it. [/QUOTE]
