[QUOTE="Grimhelm, post: 2658368, member: 37079"] I don't disagree with this take on it. It is just a preference for me based upon my previous assertions. As I have said, I understand the arguments for the use of skills of this kind. I simply do not enjoy playing that way. If a player wants to play a diplomat, then by god, he better play one, not go to the King's Court every week and roll dice. I just don't see the point to this style of play. Sure, he may be successful, but at what? What has the player really gotten out of that? Nothing. I like for players to test their limitations, test themselves, interact, and play. I would wager this style is not for everyone. Nor should it be. Those who do not wish to play by this vision, can sod off. Those who agree are welcome. I really don't give a rip. This debate is tiresome. Either people play my way or they don't! If they don't like my ideas, then let them play another game! I am not being contrary. I am not being difficult. I am simply presenting a game the way I see it and inviting others to play in this style. If they don't want to, then fine! I don't really care. [/QUOTE]
