[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 7405258, member: 23751"] Nah. What [MENTION=42582]pemerton[/MENTION] is doing is not using phraseology that I don't like, he's redefining terms to suit his needs and I reject that. Especially since he then uses those terms to be dismissive and/or attack the traditional playstyle. When he does that, I turn it back on him. I understand the differences between the styles, but when push comes to shove, his style also has players declare actions to get the DM to say stuff, and so I point it out to him. That can SEEM like I'm trying to minimize differences, but I'm really not. If he just talked about his style and what he liked and disliked about the differences, rather than trying to redefine terms so that he can attack the other playstyle, the conversation would be much different. At no point in this thread did he ever need to say things like, "The traditional playstyle is choose your own adventure", or "It's railroady", or "The players just declare actions to get the DM to read notes/say stuff." It's uncalled for and when he does it, I'm going to show how those things can also apply to his style. If he doesn't like it, he should stop doing it in the first place. If he learned the Golden Rule it would help him considerably in these conversations. [/QUOTE]
