[QUOTE="Kahuna Burger, post: 1363336, member: 8439"] I do have a problem with (even unitientional) misrepresentations of the way I play. *shrug* You may not have meant to do that, but when someone says that not doing it as "if they die, they die" is equivelent to "emailing them the story" I feel that a intermediate play style is being missed. ;) And as with all messageboard discussions, not everything said after a quote of your comments is an pure response to your comments, so relax. In a similar discussion, someone asked if gamers who played low leathality played video games on "god mode" because he saw it the same. I responded by asking (rhetoricly) if those who went for "risk of death or there's no point" gaming couldn't enjoy older episodes of action tv shows if they had seen more recent ones and knew no one died. The point was that he clearly looked for similar things in RPGs to what he looked for in video games, while I look for similar things to when I am watching, reading or writing a story. The disconnect was so great that he had made a completely erroneous connection about how someone who enjoyed rpgs a different way might enjoy other things. Now this is just a meta discussion about how we discussed it. :p off to work. Kahuna Burger [/QUOTE]
