Your example #1 had to do with people who can't tell the difference between what they've experienced in the past, and what other people are playing. Since I'm running two low-magic, gritty games right now on a weekly basis, I must be able to tell the difference, and therefore do not qualify for your "The world must be divided into two sorts of people" division.But at least I look sexy while I'm doing it.I have a sneaking suspicion that nothing I say will ever do anything but prove your arguments entirely correct, in your view.Sure. There is nothing inviting about a race that is highly resistant to magic, good at sneaking and hiding, highly skillful, tough ... wait a minute, we're talking about one of the main races in the PHB, right?Truly, you have a dizzying intellect. [/ManInBlack]Nobody ever accused Tolkien of being the brighest bulb in the pack when it came to screenwriting.The great rabbi comes before an even greater rabbi. He says "Who am I to even stand before you? You are everything and I am nothing." Another rabbi comes before the High Holy One. "Oh Venerable Rabbi, who am I to speak to you? I am nothing." Then in comes the janitor. He, too, is humble. "Oh great one. Before you I am indeed nothing." Rabbi #1 says to Rabbi #2, "Look who thinks he's nothing!" Is this where I'm supposed to say, "In your opinion"?I've met bad gamers of all kinds. There's Argument Man, who doesn't even know the game very well but insist on grinding the game to a halt to argue about rules minutae. There's the guy who falls asleep on the couch or players video games, and you wonder why he's even there. There's Cat Piss Man, who is a social reject who lives at home with his parents and possesses the social skills of a 12-year old. There's the Possessive Girlfriend, who doesn't really like her guy playing RPGs, but wants to keep an eye on him so she shows up. There's the DM's Girlfriend.If you'd like to argue that the sort of people you find yourself arguing with or about in these discussions tend to be the pool from which the worst roleplayers are drawn, whatever, but I highly doubt that's been the case.</blockquote>
