[QUOTE="joethelawyer, post: 4795446, member: 55764"] Well ain't that a kick in the head. I re-read it a couple times and I see your point, and I see that you're right. I basically ended by saying (by implication like you said, but still it's saying it nonetheless) that people who play rules heavy games have no imagination. Quite an arrogant thing to say. And not true--a person's imagination has nothing to do with the style of game people play. My apologies to all who I offended by that. In trying to express some ideas as to why people like certain types of games, based on influences, I slammed those people who played those games as being not as good or imaginative as me. That's not right. People enjoy things for different reasons, which should not be considered and is truly not a negative reflection on them in other ways. I shouldn't project how I feel about a certain style of RPG or game in general onto those who play that game as if I am better than they are in any way. My preferences as to the type of game I play are no better than anyone else's, and I'm sorry I basically said that it was. Now I see why there were so many offended people posting responses. Here I was thinking it got views because of the sheer brilliance of the post. :) Sorry again guys. Maybe I'll keep this sort of post to blogs for now on. Then again, maybe I should keep doing it here. You guys help keep me humble. [/QUOTE]
