[QUOTE="fusangite, post: 2454260, member: 7240"] Well, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that this is just a misunderstanding of my position. So, let me clear the above two points up: Firstly, I am not adamant that most people would enjoy my main style of play. In fact, I'm pretty sure most people wouldn't enjoy playing games the way I do. It works for me and the people I game with, however. And in situations where it doesn't, I adopt a different play style. Actually, I have about three different play styles as a player; I decide which style to adopt based on what is going to be compatible with (not the same as) with the other players and GM. What I [i]am[/i] adamant about is that different play styles are fun for different people in different group dynamics. So, perhaps some of this misunderstanding is that you been perceiving me as an advocate for a particular play style when this isn't really the case. Secondly, at no point have I suggested that your style of immersion playing makes me uncomfortable. It's just not as fun as the other ways I play. None of my personal preference for different styles of play arises from a discomfort with your style. So no "safe environment," reassurance or coaxing is necessary. I played in the style you like from 1987-89; it was okay. Back onto the topic, I have to say I am curious about people's view about how their style conceptualizes knowledge the character but not the player has. I addressed this issue at some length but I notice that because of how the question is framed, this issue isn't really foregrounded here. [/QUOTE]
