[QUOTE="El Mahdi, post: 5915872, member: 59506"] I agree. But that isn't the point you were making earlier. You said such skills were a requirement for long term DM'ing, which I find to be incorrect. It would probably be best to just read it as is, rather than trying to read my mind or divine my intentions. That's something that is frowned upon here at ENWorld, which makes it something one should probably avoid indulging in.:) However, if you're asking me what my intention was in saying that, it most definitely was not simply for the benefit of making an argument. You made a blanket, absolute statement: [I]"If 5E has "dials" that increase or decrease complexity; this implies development of applied game design skill as a DM advances in table experience..."[/I], which I find incorrect and based on false logic. I was supplying you with one example that highlighted that. It was not intended to be argumentative at all, let alone argumentative simply for the purpose of being agrumentative. I haven't felt this coversation has been an argument at any point. Without ascribing motive or emotion to you, if that's how you're beginning to feel about this conversation, it might be a good idea to not participate. This is also something that's frowned upon here at ENWorld, excepting in jest. If it's in jest, it's usually best to use a ;) or :p to highlight that, so there are no misconceptions. Otherwise, I'd avoid doing this. Most people don't appreciate others changing their words to say something other than what they actually said. I know I certainly don't, and would appreciate your not doing this with my posts in the future.:) I agree, it is very silly to get worked up over. Though I'm confused as to why you added this. (Like I was also confused about your stating [I]"I know what my experience is. Thank You."[/I]) I haven't seen anyone getting worked up over it. I've seen people politely stating their opinions, but no getting worked up. I didn't see any evidence of getting worked up in [B][U]nillic[/U][/B]'s posts. I certainly don't feel worked up, nor do I think I posted anything that comes across as worked up. And I don't see anything in your posts that make me think you're worked up about it. That is unless you're feeling something that wasn't conveyed in your posts. Again though, without ascribing motive or emotion to you, if that's how you're beginning to feel about this conversation, it might be a good idea to not participate. B-) [/QUOTE]
