[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 5018269, member: 177"] Okay, I'm going to step in here and mark the point that will cause grief and argument for three days or more. [color=darkorange]"actually roleplay"[/color] This statement implies and requires that you have the one, only, and true definition of roleplaying, and that anyone who doesn't fit that isn't [I]really[/I] roleplaying. Whether you mean it to or not, it basically says you have the One True Way. Traditionally, such assertions start major arguments. "Roleplaying" is not by any means a well-defined term. At this point, Gary Gygax himself could not make such an assertion in this thread and have everyone agree with him - and that's including the fact that he's dead, and if he were posting he'd be bringing perspective from beyond the grave to the discussion. So, folks, if we have to hash this out, let us do it without the argument, please. [/QUOTE]
