Message: <blockquote data-quote="SableWyvern" data-source="post: 9829871" data-attributes="member: 1008">I don't see any point in trying to define a "default", because there is literally no way to ensure people agree what it is. Or, while there may be some merit in making the attempt for purposes of passing the time in conversation on the topic, I don't see anything to be gained by trying to operate on the assumption any default will ever be accepted. It seems to me that, rather assuming people already know what your default is and agree with it, you're much more likely to avoid conflicts by just letting them know what sort of game you're running up front.Speaking more generally, I already feel too many people try to talk other people out of doing their own thing, out of making the game their own. An atmosphere where there was an accepted default would only further inhibit creativity and provide ammunition to the people out there literally telling people they're doing it wrong if they don't do it according to some arbitrary, accepted norm (or 100% by the book). Note: I don't believe anyone in this thread is doing this, but it's definitely something that happens, and the people who do it would definitely use a perceived default as ammunition to try and talk new and excited players out of experimenting and having fun with the hobby.</blockquote>
