[QUOTE="MrMyth, post: 4530199, member: 61155"] I think that is a rather faulty assumption. I voted 4E since it meant everyone would be able to [I]participate[/I] in this challenge, which I find is what makes these things fun. I'd also find it easiest in the skill challenge framework to cater both to those who want to use free-form poetry, and those who want to instead rely on their character skill. Compare this to 3rd Edition, where I would see such a challenge as [I]either [/I]super-easy to overcome (ie, through random chance, you have someone trained in poetry)... or everyone is bad at it, since no one has any ranks in it, which would end up rather frustrating for them. Now, you may see it differently, and that's fine - that is what the poll is for! But accusing those who voted for 4E of ignoring the question and just trying to drive up their numbers in the poll... well, that is the sort of attitude that I think really feeds into the edition war. It isn't simple disagreement over which edition might be better to use... but actively suspecting everyone who disagrees with you of ulterior motives. [/QUOTE]
