[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 7613470, member: 177"] Um... It is a luxury entertainment. Ultimately, the only value it has is whether people enjoy it. If people don't enjoy it (in whatever sense that means to them), then how well the game was run is completely irrelevant, as the game has failed at its only reason for being. "I ran a perfect game! Too bad everyone was bored and wished they'd been doing something more worthwhile, like organizing their sock drawers..." Running a game technically well is a means to an end - that end is the enjoyment of the players. If it meets that end, that is awesome. If the means does not lead to that end, the means is rubbish. There is no great register in which you win points for a job well done if the people don't find it a positive experience. I may be having a Poe's Law failure here - I cannot tell if you are being serious or facetious. [/QUOTE]
