[QUOTE="JamesonCourage, post: 5725480, member: 6668292"] That's not how analogies work: You don't actually believe them to be literally true, it's just a comparison for convenience's sake (as amusing as that is, considering how things usually end up on the internet...). So, you either had a fundamental lacking of the basic concept of an analogy, or you were merely attacking people who disagreed with your viewpoint (ad hominem). Neither is particularly productive to a discussion. For my part, I'm definitely going to hear input for a type of game, but I'm the one who's going to say, "and this is how we're going to play. If you don't like it, I'm sorry, but you don't have to play." (I hope this has neatly avoided all analogies and just addressed the discussion.) I've yet to have a player leave because of campaign disagreements, but maybe that's because I have tastes similar to that of my group. I suspect it has to do with the quality of the game, but that could just be me taking them at their word. As always, play what you like :) [/QUOTE]
