[QUOTE="Charlaquin, post: 9050410, member: 6779196"] There absolutely is a significant correlation, at least on these forums. These arguments pop up from time to time, and I have observed that literally everyone who uses similar techniques to myself has no problem with metagaming, and everyone who argues with us about it for dozens of pages (usually the same handful of posters) does. All evidence to the contrary. Remember, all I did was suggest that maybe, if the OP was concerned about action declarations being unclear, they ask players to state their actions clearly as a matter of course. I was immediately jumped on to explain myself, which I resisted doing tooth and nail because I knew this would happen. Those of us who ask our players to clearly state goal and approach simply can’t talk about our playstyle on these forums without dozens of pages of hostile interrogation and accusations of everything from being dictators to gotcha DMs to one-true-wayists. Certainly seems like people are vehemently opposed to our playstyle, to the point that they perceive the mere mention of it as an attack against theirs. Who is not agreeing to disagree? Nobody that I can see. Everyone who thinks the other folks in this discussion shouldn’t be allowed to disagree with them, say “aye.” [/QUOTE]
