Obviously, one need not discuss anything one does not wish to. You just come across as self-important. I don't know what other goal there would be to saying you have an answer to something that you won't share. lol. Naturally, you may have exceeded us all, and your original post could be taken as "wow I have this exciting solution to all this but I can't tell". The thing is I've read through and sometimes even played with or playtested a lot of different stuff, and written plenty of rules myself too. It is easy to THINK you have a brilliant approach, but the honest truth is most of the time the rest of the world won't be as impressed by it. Maybe its dismissive, but without actually being able to see something to criticize the safe assumption is that someone making such claims is falling short. There's a reason games are a bunch of trade-offs and compromises and never exactly do even what they set out to do (let alone what the audience actually wanted). It is REALLY hard to do right. Climb Mt Everest, then everyone can see you can do it. Saying you can? Meh, not without a track record.</blockquote>
