[QUOTE="Dr. Strangemonkey, post: 2255272, member: 6533"] In my mind, there's certainly a validity question. Again, I don't want to limit the argument too much, but to put it simply I'd say: Very valid play style. Most of what I like about GnG comes out of this aspect of it, including people. There are probably things I hate about it or things that could be legitimately criticized. And I think that's what I like about it best, that at the level of play style GnG is a lot more specific. I personally have a lot less faith in its validity as a critical criteria or aesthetic system. Now this obviously does have some affect on its validity as a play style, but I think only in a really general sense. And, possibly, specifically on the issue of high level play. I'm not here to say that people who play GnG are nerks are anything. That would make my use of the term prejudice a little too reflexive and ironic this early in the morning. Give me a few days and something really flamboyant argument wise and we'll probably get there though, and hopefully in an amusing fashion. It may be that I'm trying to force GnG into the play style level entirely and that that's impossible, but I don't think that's my goal. [/QUOTE]
