[QUOTE="Kramodlog, post: 7661279, member: 55961"] Hahaha! Not a liar. Just someone who isn't very critical. Don't take things so personally. D&D is just a game. I'll help you out. There is one key info that is missing. Who were questioned for this poll? With aid, 89% of people know about D&D? What is "aid"? 89% of whom? I doubt old folks, who represent more than 11% of population know about it. 89% of people between 18 and 35 years old? That is a key democraphic and makes could make more sense. Not convinced? Let us continue our journey! 54% played it!? That is huge for the entire adult population of the US. Even if people lied about it, that is very high for [URL="http://www.cnn.com/2010/LIVING/wayoflife/06/08/new.dungeons.dragons/"]a RPG who had 24 million people play it at one point or another[/URL] (so less than 1% of total US poluation). Yeah, things do not add up. Scout Rousse's numbers need a bit more clarification. They need to be put into context. Who was questioned for this? But I'm not someone wants to make them tell a story. I'm just being critical. And once again, I'm glad to be of help. Haha! No, you misread or doing what is called a strawman. [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man"]Check it out[/URL], it is very common on these boards. Now, the the learning moment as pass, so let us go back to what I actually said.
