[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 9412303, member: 8461"] On the contrary, a casual review of this thread shows exactly the opposite. Which is entirely a matter of opinion, even though people keep talking about how their ability to predict the future is "evidence-based," and "factual," as though what [i]will[/i] happened can be derived through analysis of what [i]has[/i] happened (which is even less convincing given how selective said facts are and how creatively the "evidence" is interpreted). I'll point out that it's already been established that no such insult has been maintained. In fact, this serves as an excellent example of the willful misinterpretation of what I've said which has characterized much of the discussion so far. In this you're self-evidently wrong, as I've pointed out before; nothing I've said is beyond the realm of plausibility, and efforts to say that they are essentially come down to "trust WotC." And that people think they can accurately foresee the future in this regard is telling. There's a reason why I've continually said that this is something I'm concerned [i]might[/i] happen. I'll point out that it's all theory, though I don't know where you get the "conspiracy" part from, as there's only a single actor being discussed (in terms of deliberate action being taken), and that's WotC. The rest of it is the unintentional effect that this can have on new players. In this regard, you're demonstrably wrong, unless you think that there's no technical difference between an analogue die you can use in any game, anywhere, and a virtual mini that's locked into a particular online platform. Am I missing a pop culture reference here? [/QUOTE]
