[QUOTE="Asmor, post: 4354529, member: 1154"] Well, then obviously FATAL's a pretty freaking good system and we're the ones that are wrong. But as long as we're talking hypothetical situations that couldn't possibly happen, if my buttocks were home to an undiscovered species of endangered elephant I'd probably have to get the OK from the WWF every time I wiped me ass. The best part is that not only is that hypothetical situation equally likely, it's also equally relevant to the discussion! There's no such thing as bad taste, only different taste than yours. If we got a whole lot of new players who all have "bad tastes" in our minds, then it's really use who have the bad taste. Your situation would be pretty analagous to that of someone who only watches movies at film festivals about gay cowboys eating pudding or who only listens to unsigned garage bands and derides all mainstream entertainment as pure dreck. See also White Wolf players who won't touch D&D because it's not a roleplaying game, it's a rollplaying game, and think that you have bad tastes. See also the folks who only play "story-focused" indie RPGs and deride all the mainstream RPGs as pure dreck and think that both you and the WW players have bad tastes. Oh, and see also the people who only play P&P rpgs and thing that the 1 out of every 1000 people on the entire planet who play WoW... eh, you get the picture. Pretty damn close to your first point, though, just substitute WoW for FATAL. [/QUOTE]
