[QUOTE="BryonD, post: 5437929, member: 957"] Typical, your claims about the life expectancy of table top proves that there is an advantage to online. But, since there were reasonable rebuttals, those were offered to you rather than hollow demands of "prove it". Now the shoe is on the other foot and you don't have anything better to offer. Now it is just down to your perception. And, by your own admission your experience with tabletop has been problematic. You started a whole other thread based on your recognition that online is widely perceived as inferior to tabletop. So you can't begin to claim that your position is the standard. So if we do nothing more than count noses, it is hard to conclude that you have the full assessment. Now, if we move on and consider that you have established that not all things are equal then we are left with the conclusion that more people have an opposing view to yours AND many of those people have a better basis of comparing both sides of the equation. So it seems a slam dunk that taking the opinion of a lot of well informed people is a better bet then taking the opinion of a few people with skewed data. I certainly know that I have participated in some great online games. I also know that I have participated in great tabletop games. And without in any way taking away from the online experience, tabletop is a whole different tier. If it is about nothing but your opinion, that's fine. I've got no dispute there. But the conversation seems to be much more about overall perception. The experiences of other people will not change just because you would like to have your personal opinion validated. [/QUOTE]
