[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 6346131, member: 18"] You are of course excused, but you must excuse others for the same, if you don't, you can't have the civil discussion we both want! Sorry, "sounds like it to me", not "sounds like it", is what I should have said! It's been explained why it's divisive and inaccurate at length, but you seem to want to continue to use it anyway. You are criticising others for how they argue. I am pointing out that, from my perspective, you appear to be engaging in similar behaviour. That doesn't seem like unreasonable behaviour to me. Does it to you? The actual issue, as I discussed in a large post a little back, is that CaW is very inaccurate, because, at the most generous, "Guerrilla Combat" might be a better term, or perhaps "Ambush Combat". War is inaccurate on many levels, but I don't think that needs repeating. I can link to the post if you missed it. I don't feel there's much point discussing the issues if CaW/CaS are going to be used, because the argument will just, imo, repeatedly devolve into discussions around those terms - and I don't mean just "that terms sucks" stuff, I mean assumptions based on those terms which lead to dead ends - CaW and CaS both cause this, because they're so extreme. It's not a black/white issue, it's not a dichotomy, it's not either/or. It's an issue where most people, RPGs, and systems occupy the middle ground, and the interplay between "Guerrilla Combat" and "Swashbuckling Combat" is quite a fascinating one (whereas CaS and CaW are so extreme that I think it's hard to say that they have any interplay).
