[QUOTE="rabindranath72, post: 2389111, member: 34007"] Sorry for my bad english, it is not my home language. That is why I suppose I did not explain well my point. 1) Mr Dancey WROTE that rules light games are "worse" than rules heavy games, and cited taking some measurements and so on. My point was that, SINCE THERE ARE LOTS OF PLAYERS OUT THERE THAT CAN PROVE OTHERWISE, his assertions could not be taken scientifically as they sounded. 2) I HAVE WRITTEN, if you take care to read the posts above, that in MY EXPERIENCE, AND IN THOSE OF MANY OTHERS, CREATING AN HIGH LEVEL CHARACTER can be time consuming. AND I AM NOT EXTRAPOLATING ANYTHING, if you mind reading my post CAREFULLY. I have simply proof of the contrary of what Mr. Dancey (and you, I suppose) is saying. Which IS NOT extrapolating anything, but simply stating that part of the population does not satisfy certain assumptions. And THESE, I can prove (expected values, confidence tests and so on). 3) I do not have to convince anyone. I always assume people is intelligent enough to take informed decisions on what it reads. If you feel the contrary, then I apologize. Or you did not read carefully my posts. 4) Since I always close my posts with greets, just to signify that the discussion can be held on civil tones, and that we are not talking about "serious" topics such as hunger in the world or religion, I would STRONGLY appreciate that you do the same and show a bit of politeness. Otherwise, I will not bother to answer to your posts, since your replies qualify you. Best regards, Antonio Eleuteri P.S. If it cares, I did not create (or make create) tens of characters just for the sake of it. I am writing an article with some colleague psychologists about roleplaying games, mental constructs, and freeform playing. [/QUOTE]
