Quite literally the connection of the exact same end result. How is that not a connection? I'm not talking about legality. I'm not talking about someone being able to prove you made a product with intentional connections to real life. I'm talking about the fact that if you present a child murder... child murder is a real thing that happens. That's it. that isn't some "random similarity" it is literally "this event is something that happens in the real life" I honestly don't understand how this is a debate. Do you have trees in your game? It may shock you to learn trees are real. Do you directly describe the specific tree that was in Jefferson's back yard? I don't care. That's not the point. I can draw a connection between "tree" and "tree". I can draw a connection between trees in fantasy, and trees in reality, because they are both trees. You can't talk about trees in fantasy without in some way referencing real trees, because the language doesn't allow for that. Language doesn't differentiate between real trees and fantasy trees. They are still trees.But it was a last stand, right? The concept of a last stand exists in fantasy because it is a real thing that people really did. Therefore, there is a connection between last stands in fantasy and last stands in reality. Whether or not you are specifically talking about Custer's Last Stand or the Last Stand at Thermopoly. It doesn't matter. This isn't about specific direct references.I'm not talking connection like a physical connection. I'm talking about ideas, langauge, two telephone poles aren't connected? They are literally the same thing. There are dozens of connections I can draw. Like for instance a tall wooden pole being connected to the idea of telephones, and therefore connected to the idea of mass communication. No physical wires needed.Nope, you just keep restating that they are.So, races having the exact same ability scores isn't important to the point of what would happen if all the races have the exact same ability scores? I can't even begin to ask why you could think this.Yes, you have. Maybe you would prefer me to be more scientific and say hypothesis. or Prediction. Or whatever word you prefer, but the point is you put forth the idea that if all races had the same ability scores, then no matter their appearance or abilities they would be seen as a single race. I've proven that wrong.</blockquote>
