[QUOTE="Shemeska, post: 2777702, member: 11697"] Way to make him feel welcome guys. You know, God forbid anyone wishes to promote one style of play over another. Because, as you know, we must accept everything, regardless of anything. Everything is beautiful and special and unique. *emphatic spineless hand wringing* I'd have no problem being as picky as possible in snagging players who prefer one playing style over another. If a person is in it for the number munching and has no interest in character development, they need to find someone with that same 'shallow' level of gameplay, or go play DDM, etc. I'll tolerate and accept that folks will play like that, but in no way will I support it, or accept anyone of that style into a game I run. And to be honest I don't have a problem with folks making generalizations about them as being munchkins, or less mature players, or shallow, etc. They're free to make up the same to describe other playing styles that look down their noses at them. That's a part of the give and take of life. And frankly, I think dumping on someone for having the temerity to voice their opinion on varying styles of play is worse than anything they might have said in the first place. [/QUOTE]
