Message: <blockquote data-quote="The Baron" data-source="post: 1676496" data-attributes="member: 19794">One of my roommates is an avid fantasy fan and loves gaming.  He is also pursuing a career in politics.  Does his gaming ever enter into political discussion?  Let me see if I can piece together this conversation we had.  It might be slightly mangled due to the problem of memory.My friend is what I have termed a "connector."  He's a social butterfly.  He loves to bring together people of various backgrounds, ideologies, etc.  He'd love to get a staunch liberal and conservative in the same room and try to show the common ground between them.  He said it something like this:ROOMMATE: "I wanted to show John and Bill <warning: made up names> that they were actually talking about the same thing.  Because most people, when they are arguing about something political often have the same ends but don't realize."ME:  "So you were trying to explain Wisdom <note the big 'W'>."ROOMMATE: "Exactly.  But they didn't play DnD."I hope this comment came off as funny as it did when he said it.  Of course, we did both have a few drinks in us.  Perhaps you should have a drink or two and then reread this post.  Then it will be funnier.  But maybe not.  In any case, you'll be more drunk.</blockquote>
