[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 6586349, member: 6790260"] Wow. I just...wow. The staggering size of the excluded middle is leaving me dizzy and breathless. Not only must I agree that 4e failed (when, by comparison to any other RPG except the breakaway success that is Pathfinder, it was a RIOTOUS success), but I either have to say that 4e wasn't D&D because it wouldn't have "failed" without that name, or I have to say that 4e was simply inherently flawed and [I]could not possibly succeed under any circumstances.[/I] I can see that the conversation has gone pretty far afield now, but...again, just wow. Couldn't at [I]least[/I] have put an "other" in case people disagreed with something about both of the positions you provided, since [I]it's not possible to dispute that 4e was a failure[/I], with the way you've written them? As it stands, the poll is of the same form as, "Confirm or deny: you are still beating your spouse." Thus my own answer is the same as my answer to that question: mu. (And not simply because I don't have a spouse.) [/QUOTE]
