You are unfairly discriminating against pickup trucks and I am deeply
offended. I think you should shut up until you know what you're talking
about.

Sorry, couldn't resist the opportunity to poke fun at all those people
that seem to think if you haven't covered every conceivable possibility
you must be insulting them. ;)

The general consensus in many discussions seems to be 'roleplay good,
powergame bad'. Perhaps a better way to look at it is 'roleplay right,
powergame left'. This indicates which side of the brain they tend to
work on, the emotional as opposed to the scientific, as opposed to any
political connotations. ;)

 I am here to grind your eyes harder into the miasmic bile of life; to 
 show you the truth and the beauty in the whisper of steel on silk and 
 the crimson scent of blood as it rises to meet the caress of a blade.
