[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 5123342, member: 2205"] Why would anyone infer that? I, in fact, earlier in this thread, specifically [I]excluded[/I] any such inference from my post by stating, more than once, that [I]both[/I] endpoints of the spectrum are equally undesireable. I have no idea what to say to that. If someone interprets my posts a certain way that are the complete opposite of what I actually said, no matter how clearly I emphasized and re-emphasized the point, then I might be starting a pointless argument? There are no words... You sure seem to enjoy making bizarre inferences from my posts. Of course that's not a valid conclusion. As I've said multiple times in this thread, a railroad is a game where the PCs have no significant choice. If a game follows a single thread from beginning to end, but the PCs [I]choose[/I] to follow that the entire time, and the reactions they are able to make with regards to that thread, then of course its not a railroad. I've never put forth any such definition, description or any material that in any ways could imply that I think otherwise. That's one valid definition of plot. In the context of this discussion, it's obviously not the correct one. No, really I didn't. I didn't name it at all, except in response to you. For the ... [I]fourth[/I] time now, I made an [B]off-hand reference[/B] to the fact that in the past a relatively more sandboxy style of running the game was perhaps more prevalent. That's it. Ese es todo. No hay mas. [/QUOTE]
