[QUOTE="SSquirrel, post: 1571035, member: 5202"] As has been said a billion times, this is exactly what we do ALREADY! Funny I posted an example nearly identical to this a day or 2 ago as what I and most other gamers I know ALREADY do. Huh. Didn't take any change in the semantics of what the game is called or what kind of resolution is used to achieve. Fascinating. Key addition to this statement is the phrase "IMO" right after "because it is the wrong word". No one on these boards is the uber-authority of gaming whom all will bow low to and change their way of thinking based on their words. So far you're about the only one who thinks game is the wrong word. The people know what they want and it's games not hobbies. Uhm...the only person who seems to be emphasizing the "game" is YOU. The rest of us might refer to it as a game, but the people we're talking with understand or soon understand what comes with that meaning. Perfectly good word. Maybe we should make up a completely new word so there are no preconceived notions behind it. Rastucala. That's what RPGs will be forever known as now. RAHS-too-cahla. Just ROLLS off the tongue. No more worrying about hobby or game conjuring up wrong images. Don't be stupid. Well if we're going to be adventuring in a world where there is no balance, chances are high that we're just going to get screwed left and right and have NO fun. Sorry, no way in HELL am I playing in something like that. Go take your amateur theater HOBBY group and have fun by yourself. The other millions of GAMERS and I will be too busy playing our GAME and having a blast. I'm playing my favorite GAME, D&D, all FREAKIN day tomorrow from 11 to 10 and I'm gonna love every minute of it and think how MM would really enjoy teh game as there's LOTS of RPing and just a really fun group. But we all refer to it as a game so he'd probably shove knives in his ears or something. Hagen [/QUOTE]
