[QUOTE="Majoru Oakheart, post: 3962655, member: 5143"] Yeah. I got tired of answering these questions a while back and don't really play with the 1 or 2 people I knew who liked to ask these sorts of questions. It was always annoying to have to stop in the middle of a story to explain how things work rather than getting on with the important part: the actual storyline at hand. Like I'd be describing the scene: "The man in full plate on a light war horse rides into town, around 30 feet away from you, his armor gleaming...." Player: "A LIGHT war horse? You realize it can't really hold a person weighing that much with full plate on." Me: "Ok, fine, it's a heavy war horse...as I was saying, he rides into town." Player: "He rode through all the farmers fields to get into town?" Me: "No, there are no farmers around this town." Player: "No farmers? You realized that a medieval society needs 8 farmers for every person?" Me: "No, I did not know that. Nor do I care much, the point of what I'm trying to say is that the man who tried to kill you last week rides into town...what are you going to do about it?" [/QUOTE]
