[QUOTE="Warpiglet-7, post: 8685551, member: 7025282"] If I don’t want a rule in my game, you are saying it’s wrong for me to say so whereas you can want it and by extension say so. It’s like a baseball fan disliking the infield fly rule and saying so (which by your criteria is wrong) but it’s ok to push for its inclusion. I don’t care what you do in your own game—not telling you what to play in your back yard. But it’s not wrong to want the official rules to hew closer to one’s preferences. Even having to say that seems like stating the obvious. Now if saying “I don’t like exhaustion rules and wish they were not in the game” on a forum to discuss games with fellow fans hurts someone’s feelings….oh boy. Put another way: if a rule is official, it’s more likely to make its presence known in other people’s games…People should be able express their distaste for this without it being a personal attack. Some have argued for the exclusion of alignment. Let’s say I like it. You’re telling me they are being rude to me? That is…a very unusual take. You have a right to it of course, but it’s not something I can relate to. Anyway, have fun gaming and discussing games. It’s a fun pass time. [/QUOTE]
