Message: <blockquote data-quote="Willie the Duck" data-source="post: 8384271" data-attributes="member: 6799660">I don't know what to tell you. It seems like any discussion with you will be one where I have the preemptive burden of also carrying water for these nebulous 'typical claims' that are 'wildly inaccurate' 'negative stereotypes.' I don't know about the rest of the participants in this thread, but I for one don't feel the need to take on that task. Mind you, I'm a little burned out on nerd culture right now with gaming social media as a particular bad point (and 'self-declared victim status of oneself or thing of which one is a fan' being a key component), so I might not be the best person to be doing this right now.From what I've seen, nearly every nerd thing absolutely has a group of haters who are completely unfair in their criticism of the thing, along with a group a super-devoted ultra-fans who always have an explanation of how any criticism of said thing is unfair and any criticism must be something along the lines of 'using the system in a manner that isn't how it's actually designed to be used' or similar. Personally, I would prefer we stick to the things actually said in this thread rather than re-litigate what may or may not have been said by these apparent bad actors with their ignorant and unfair critiques.I do agree that GURPS will work for someone who wants jump distance as well as someone who doesn't care about exact jump distance, it just doesn't provide any real benefit over any other potential system in such a situation (it's a neutral grade, in that situation).</blockquote>
