[QUOTE="Campbell, post: 8155887, member: 16586"] I do not think social equity is some high ideal. I think a shared purpose and striving for relatively equitable social relationships is important for any healthy social activity. I will not deeply engage and put energy into something if the people I am playing with aren't going to vibe off it and put in the same effort. If the game is casual let it be casual, but let's just chill together. If we're going to dive deep let's do that too. At the end of the day I just do not see this as different from the expectations from a serious poker game compared to a friendly game. I have a fair number of friends. Including a significant amount that play board games and roleplaying games. Just because we're friends does not mean we need to do everything together. I have OSR buddies that are not a good fit for my character driven games. One of my friends who hates more gamist OSR play. I play Diplomacy with a group of people that can get pretty cut throat. It's not a great idea to involve more casual players. I have some friends that I would never play more competitive video games with. It's fine. We do other stuff together. It's cool to have a more chill game if that's what your doing, but that makes deep engagement less rewarding and like socially feasible. When everyone is trying to have their own fun we do not really get to have fun together. [/QUOTE]
