[QUOTE="Cadence, post: 8331114, member: 6701124"] I realize it might be a break with tradition in this thread, but it feels like a little context might help. Before I said what you quote me as above, you had appealed to something about numbers by bringing up the variety of different RPGs on the market that don't use alignment (I assume "vast majority" is an appeal to number). I then replied with: ... and even had a smiley face. But anyway, to address again your statement that I'm guessing that it's true that most of the different dishes on the menus of "Italian restaurants" in America don't involve having a single crust under toppings. Similarly, I'm guessing that most of the side dishes available at the burger restaurants don't involve sliced and deep fried potatoes. If the menu at the Italian restaurant didn't have former and the menu at the Burger restaurant didn't have the later people would of course have to come up with something else to order. And many of the customers probably wouldn't mind them not being there. It doesn't feel like any of that is relevant at all when discussing the place of Pizza or the place of French fries on the menu. Similarly, I don't have the slightest clue what there being a huge number of RPGs that don't have alignment says about alignment. [/QUOTE]
