[QUOTE="Milieu, post: 9887881, member: 7041560"] Not to put too fine a point on it, but aren't you kind of doing the thing you're criticizing? You say that a style you don't like becomes UnFun with a capital U and a capital F, even if the people who play that way don't realize it. And then [I]imply [/I]that all the people who don't think your style is Cool are the type who complain that other people are having fun wrong. (I realize you don't quite [I]state [/I]that, but the structure of the sentence [I]implies [/I]those are the two primary groups, or else why mention them? If the BadWrongFunners aren't the main category of people who disagree with you, you could more neutrally say "others seem to enjoy the constraints of resource management" or just end the sentence after "some people".) If it's Cool for you, then I'm not here to tell you you're having fun wrong, but we would probably both have more fun playing in separate games that match our respective styles. [I]For me,[/I] it's only Cool to splurge because you [I]can't[/I] do it all the time. Time is also a kind of resource! Maybe we can find a compromise after all. [/QUOTE]
