Hey, check it out, both of the things you said didn't factor into your suggestion, all pulled from the original post on the first page... Gee, I wonder where I could have come up such an oddball idea? Oh, I read your post.
"MAYBE" means exactly that it was a throw-away suggestion and not a cornerstone of the whole idea. It was even followed by a "AND/OR" to suggest an alternative or complementary system.
Language, how does it work?
But what's even more interesting to me isn't that you are misunderstanding the importance of a secondary detail as the major point of contention, no.
What's hilarious is that you are basically arguing that IF it was implemented in the stupidest, clumsiest possible way it could be almost as bad as what we have now.
Yeah, if you went out of your way to make it inexplicably bad it would suck. Shocking.
Example: at no point I ever even ATTEMPTED to put down some value about how impactful charisma could be in the equation, but somehow you already decided that it would be so bad that it would make the whole economy collapse.
When in reality for what it matter every single extra point of charisma could just add a 1% discount (OR EVEN LESS) and be almost uninfluential in the grand scheme of things.
For someone who habitually LOVES to nitpick on single sentences you are singularly AWFUL at understanding the stuff you insist on commenting on
Not to mention your other habit of filling the gaps with your imagination and running away with it.
