[QUOTE="iserith, post: 7599227, member: 97077"] It seems odd to me to call rules that refer to themselves as "rules" [I]advice[/I]. Even rules about how to conduct the game outside of the rules of the game are called "table rules." So is that a "yes" or a "no" on finding value in seeing one's own inconsistencies and contradictions? I don't count you in that half-dozen. Your posts barely register to me compared to others who are in nearly every other thread I'm in, talking largely about the same things. I wouldn't call myself "strict." I change rules regularly to suit the campaign. What I don't change are the fundamental elements such as how to play the game and the adjudication process. I also make no judgment as to how well your game runs, having never seen it firsthand, only observing that sometimes running the game in a way that runs contrary to its design can make for a less smoothly running game. We see this sort of thing reported on the forums all the time. I am also not confounded by how others have fun, nor do I say that following the rules is the only way forward or always necessary. I say what I do and why, that's all. And while I don't count you among the aforementioned half-dozen, statements such as these put you right in line with their tactics of ascribing to me things I do not believe by grossly mischaracterizing things that I say. I would hope you don't continue to follow suit. [/QUOTE]
