Reply To: Button Counters

I would say that beyond button counting there is also an ugly intolerance towards over-asked questions and rule book questions on some Facebook pages.

Some people offer an opinion on a rule’s meaning and some rule lawyer slams them down. Where someone voices a “spirit of the rule” approach and gets smashed with an FaQ and rudely corrected. Some have the fun rebuttal to someone not understanding a rule of… “it’s very clear!”. Surely this is subjective?

Or the other ugly comment often seen on basic rules or list building questions is “buy a rulebook!” These pages are often the first place a new player comes into contact with one of our favourite games or the hobby in general. We could do without this type of comment or a territorial defensive posturing when dealing with people less well informed on pieces of history or the ins and outs of our favourite games.

We could do with more policing on basic tolerance rather than overzealous admins ripping down banter, jokes and anything fractionally off topic.
