Re: Armegeddon Forum Policy?

Hello Rendekar. I don't think the argument was ever why NWA wanted to be called roleplay intensive, but rather why the few administrators of games that call themselves RPI refuse to allow anyone to use the term Roleplay Intensive that do not follow their specific set gaming conventions. I among others have argued that these conventions do not give a game a more intensive roleplay experience. Like it or not, that was the very reason for the term RPI. Not sure we've ever used the term RPI before. I think in humor we made up RPEI (roleplay enforced intensive) or something like that.

I think it would have helped this whole group to use a different term rather than than trying to claim somehow their system promotes more roleplay than any other system of required roleplay. It has been argued into the ground and the only way someone will know is to play both and see which is more intensive and engaging.

Does that make sense?
