[QUOTE="SableWyvern, post: 9442620, member: 1008"] I was talking about things that I would allow if the players did them. Every comment I've made in this thread has been made from the perspective of a GM, except where I specifically said I could not see myself as a player at your table but, if I did somehow end up as a player at your table, I would accept that you run your game your way. So, the complete opposite of what you're accusing me of. :rolleyes: As to the saluting thing itself, the issue was [I]never [/I]"Saluting doesn't work in this world," it was the factually incorrect attempt at a "Salute isn't a verb" gotcha, which you followed up with something along the lines of "Anachronism has no place in D&D and I got you on a reasonably obscure technicality, so I win", and when people questioned whether it was reasonable to allow saluting you then chose to follow up by doubling (tripling?) down and acting as if you are the Grand High Arbiter of What Things Are Allowed in D&D and telling us all that saluting has no place in [I]any [/I]D&D world ever and then later [I]quadrupled [/I]down by suggesting that the reason saluting needs to be kept out of D&D is because if you allow saluting into a D&D world you're tacitly also allowing email and emojis. What's going on here? Did you suffer some traumatic saluting incident that has caused a pathological inability to allow anyone to ever use or enjoy a salute? I don't wonder why you want tighter, more restrictive language. You've made it clear you like it because it makes it easier for you to DM. I have repeatedly acknowledged that you should run your games the way you want. What I do wonder is why you seem so upset that not everyone feels the same way as you about everything, and why you hate saluting so much. [/QUOTE]
