Falling off the 4ed bandwagon

[Dausuul]

The bandwagon simultaneously exists and does not exist until a thread stating an opinion on 4E is observed. If the thread demonstrates unconditional love, the bandwagon resolves into existence. If the thread is critical, the bandwagon resolves into nonexistence. Similarly, forum members are simultaneously on and off the bandwagon until they reveal themselves as being one or the other.

(While well-established through experimental evidence, the theory of quantum wagonics is not without its detractors. Many still agree with Einstein's statement that "God does not play dice with the bandwagon.")

Now I want to know if bandwagon threads have fat tails or long tails, and if they acknowledge causality.

In what way? A bandwagon is a group of enthusiastic supporters and promoters of an idea. I think that is an apt description of adopters of a new gaming system. I would happily agree that I am on the Pathfinder bandwagon. Bandwagons make me think of parades and popcorn. It's really a compliment.

Heh, for some reason that reminds me of Babylon 5 -

Michael Garibaldi: And if I had a baseball bat, we could hang you from the ceiling and play piñata.
Alfred Bester: A piñata, huh? So, you think of me as something bright and cheerful, full of toys and candy for young children? Thank you! That makes me feel much better about our relationship.


Not disagreeing, or agreeing for that matter. But I do like to see a positive spin on things now and again. Games are something to be enjoyed.

I think the bandwagon got seriously derailed...

I think the bandwagon got seriously derailed...

But did it produce a new "Motiviational Poster" describing the "falling of the band wagon" meme?

That's the issue that has been pressing me basically since the thread appeared on the Forum page!

Because it's not consistent with reality? Some people like things because they are popular. There doesn't have to be another reason..

I think you have weird levels of acceptance of over reliance on herd instinct response in place of thinking.

Submit humble request to return to more fruitful on topic discussions for this thread. In other words, can we get back on this thread's bandwagon?

I agree. Let us put aside the naughty B word for a bit.

Lets say that the OP was once an adherent of the 4E system and that this is no longer the case.


Adherent One who has not yet gotten all that he expects to get.

Actually I hate that type of (non)thinking. It still happens.

But yes, let's get this thread back to the original topic.
