  • Just produce some evidence. I’m sure it’s easy, it’s not like you’d have to resort to something weird like pointing at a fraction of a percent difference between censuses as evidence of a genocide.

    Just to be clear, that was sarcasm and is what the allegations of genocide are entirely based upon - dig into any allegations of uygher genocide and you can link back to Adrian Zenz’s “study”.







    1. assets plural

    a. the property of a deceased person subject by law to the payment of his or her debts and legacies

    b. the entire property of a person, association, corporation, or estate applicable or subject to the payment of debts

    1. ADVANTAGE, RESOURCE

    a. an item of value owned

    b. assets plural the items on a balance sheet showing the book value of property owned

    Hey now, something strange is going on here - see, when I visit that page, there aren’t just 3 items. Now, you wouldn’t be selectively ignoring parts of your own source to paint a certain narrative, would you? Because the 4th item I see is

    4 : something useful in an effort to foil or defeat an enemy: such as
    a : a piece of military equipment

    b : spy

    I’m sure you simply… overlooked it in your excitement. Now you’re aware though, I’m sure you’ll be happy to correct your comments.







  • Minmaxxing isn’t really the same as rules exploits - you can do those things to become really good at combat, but you’re sacrificing your abilities in other areas, which make up a significant part of the game. It’s not like hiding behind a tower shield to disappear or undead warlocks short resting to stack death ward, where you’re actively taking advantage of wording and rules interactions to achieve unintended effects.


  • This has a lot of “I’ve only played D&D” energy. I am fascinated to hear your examples of exploits in VtM, or CoC, or even PF2e. Exploits and rules abuse have always been issues in D&D, which is just one of the reasons there are so many systems that aren’t D&D. Plenty of rules can’t be exploited, regardless of how intelligent you are - being clever isn’t a magic spell that just lets you unravel rules to be remade in your image.
