Fair enough. I don't see either "fixed solutions" or simplsitic chest
beating to be necessary components of a PvP based game. Neither however
does their lack suggest a Roleplay game by my definitions. I suspect what
I call Roleplay, as per the AD&D definition i gave earlier, is what you
call "immersive roleplay". No probs or disagreements now that our
definitions are clearer.
