I didn't post in another thread because I don't want to come across as advertising our game. I mean, we believe it's a great RPG and we want more people to have eyes on it but we don't like sloppy blatant ads. ugh. Also, anybody in this forum from east of St. Louis? Looking for a solid experienced group to playtest rules for our Cyber <Punk> Expansion book / beta. We are 1 hour east of St. Louis.

Perhaps what has driven my distaste for the broken quote is that it acts as a wall-of-text multiplier. Once it becomes necessary, it only gets worse and it's already too late.

Naw. I see that topping. I know what the slice is going to taste like.

My brain, when someone tells me that they hate a game that they've never played*:
*Also: book they've never read, food they've never eaten, song they've never heard, you get the picture. Why would you ever want "I HATE THIS" to be your baseline, default opinion?
"Oh but see, I may not have played it per se, but I've spoken to people who lived next door to a guy that dated someone who played it once, and it was completely awful, so I don't have to play it to know that I already hate it. Que E Dee."
Yeah, sure buddy.

I hated Tuna on thin crust pizza, I acted Tuna in Calzone's, I hated Tuna on NY style pizza... and now I have to try it on Detroit style pizza to say I don't want it there either!?!?My brain, when someone tells me that they hate a game that they've never played*:

(Ok, I actually only had Tuna in a casserole, but that's basically Chicago style pizza, right?)

I'm a numbers guy, its been my life for better or worse, so when I was thinking about gaming, while doing some prep, it is now at forty-two years doing this. I probably don't have twenty years left, not half again the time I have spent. Realistically, when games, campaigns, last a few years at least, so most likely not even ten more ... *
*moral: never look at the numbers
“Death is always on the way, but the fact that you don't know when it will arrive seems to take away from the finiteness of life. It's that terrible precision that we hate so much. But because we don't know, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. Yet everything happens a certain number of times, and a very small number, really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, some afternoon that's so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four or five times more. Perhaps not even. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless.”

Like my friend's "too popular to be good" stance. He has to hear of it first (or only hear from one other person) otherwise too many people know about it and its no good at this point. A real headscratcher that one. I've even introduced things to him that he tries to introduce to me months later saying he discovered it. lolMy brain, when someone tells me that they hate a game that they've never played*:

In principle, I agree with you.My brain, when someone tells me that they hate a game that they've never played*:

In practice, I don't need to read this book if I've read other books by the same author (or maybe in the same genre) and didn't like them. This isn't I HATE THIS as a baseline, but more ... a recognition that something doesn't work for my tastes and preferences. Same for music by a known quantity, or food containing an ingredient I know I cannot stand. Also, most of the time, I try to recognize different people have different tastes and preferences.

My motto is dont knock it until you rock it. So, if enough folks tell me to give it a whirl, I likely will. Though, as you say about certain food ingredients, its ok not to rock something . I'll just not be able to honestly knock it. I used to be super picky about books. I was the type that must finish any book they start. Took me a long time to break that habit. Now, I'll go as far as I can but it doesn't bother me to leave something unfinished if it sucks that bad.

SOrry, was trying to make a joke and it REALLY didn't work.
I have gotten to the point where if someone is Fisking, I don't even bother reading the post anymore. I'll write some pretty lengthy posts, from time to time, but, when my post is right above yours, and you're breaking it up like that? Nope. Not gonna do it.

In other news, my stalker has returned. More than two years. Hasn't posted on any other threads other than to snipe at me every six months or so. It's actually rather impressive and very, very sad at the same time.
I finally broke down and just put him into my ignore list. But, wow. That's a LOONG time to hold a grudge for someone you've never met in person. Yikes.

I think yes, I wasn't try to accuse anyone in particular, it seems just when one breaks it up to refute it point by point, it's probably done to be annoying. The IL is golden in its own way.SOrry, was trying to make a joke and it REALLY didn't work.

Naw, I edited my joke where I broke up your entire post, one word at a time between quotes.
It was funny in my head but, not so much when I actually saw it. Took up WAYYYY too much space.
