You do nothing but drive people away from the hobby! My Friend # 2: The way you play is ignorant and wrong-headed. It promotes immaturity and relegates roleplaying to a fringe activity in society! Player # 3: Multiple systems of games exist to promote a variety of "roleplay" experiences for a diverse of set of people. GNS theory and others like it attempt to codify styles of games, though each theory has its detractors. Experimental RPG designers like those at The Forge are trying to utilize novel theories in their game designs to expand the library of games out there.  (obviously Player # 3 is the one with the problem) <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />  I personally believe that pretty much anyone or anything that attacks roleplaying games in any form (CRPGs, MMORPGs, CCG, RPG boardgames, tabletop, Larps, etc.) is hurting the hobby. If you don't like the way a game is, change it or don't play it. Maybe you can expand the hobby? Trying to remove one segment of it can only shrink it.</blockquote>
