I am horrified. You guys really don't see this as the primary principle of play, from the get-go? It seems like something new to you?
Scared & leaving. All yours, Vincent.
This makes BR go "It isn't that its new..."
It's just that its one of those unexamined things that when someone finally puts full words to makes you realize, fully for the first time, what it is you've been doing (and doing wrong).
This makes VAX go "Typical."
This makes KM go "I think I understand Meg better"
No offence Ron or Vincent, but the usage of wierd metaphors is what makes it seem new and exciting. The way that Meguey described it is the way that I always understood it. Although Vincent's later clarification makes sense too.
This makes BN go "Isn't it "to have fun"?"
