My apologies, I wasn't trying to slam you, I was just repeating the attitudes of
some of the people I have played with. As I said, it was in my experience.
Perhaps I should have added an "in my experience" to the end. I apologize again.

Well, if I or certain of my characters knew what Move-By-Wire actually did to
our body, we probably wouldn't put it in either. But as someone said, if we
didn't know what it did, we might if all we knew is that we would move faster
than everyone else.

Again, I apologize, I didn't mean to insult the way you play. Sometimes I just
like to roll dice and others I like to actually role-play. The pity is that
sometimes in the group I get to play in it seems like rolling dice wins out and
I'm not too happy about that. It was more frustration on my part than a
condemnation on what others do.
This is not just for the one person who spoke out, but for everyone who was
offended by what I wrote.

In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder,
bloodshed - they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance.
In Switzerland they had brotherly
love, five hundred years of democracy and peace, and what did they produce? The
cuckoo clock!
