Message: <blockquote data-quote="outsider" data-source="post: 5073972" data-attributes="member: 54690">They do exist.  I've played with at least 3 of this type of player.  They are the kind of player that believes that people who play weak characters are better roleplayers than those who play powerful ones.  They are the kind of player that uses the term "rollplaying" as a slur.  They are the type of player that thinks powergaming is inherently wrong.  They are the reason the Stormwind Fallacy exists.If you've seen anybody that uses terms like munchkin, rollplaying, etc frequently, you may be looking at one of these people.  In a regular, mixed group of players they'll be somewhat functional.  They'll butt heads with any powergamers in the group, but the presence of level headed players in the midground between the extreme playstyles will usually keep it from getting too far.If one of these guys ends up in a powergamer heavy group though, they can become EXTREMELY petty and disruptive, just as bad as when a powergamer plays in a group that's otherwise into "deep roleplaying, never touch the dice" type of play.As far as being unable to accept that people create characters for different reasons, and thus maybe it's my fault, I can easily accept that people create characters for different reasons.  However, if your reason is opposed to the reasons of the rest of the players, you are going to be a problem.  If I wind up in a group that doesn't like powergaming, I either leave the group or I create a character that's weaker than I normally would(assuming there's something else compelling enough about he game for me to justify playing in it).  It is unreasonable for one person to try to force his preferences on 4 people, even when I'm that one person.</blockquote>
