pragmatic (adj.)
The opposite of idealistic is pragmatic, a word that describes a philosophy of "doing what works best."
From Greek pragma "deed," the word has historically described philosophers and politicians who were
concerned more with real-world application of ideas than with abstract notions. A pragmatic person
is sensible, grounded, and practical.

So you're saying that PCs and DMs are one in the same?

I'm asking question i was really curious about.

Though the somewhat mocking answer just makes me wonder why I even bothered.

Good luck.
If people DM where they play I guess I'll just stop playing.
Yet another reason to vote Boom.

This from a candidate who responds to a questions with "Hahahaha!" give or take an H.
A true sign of maturity.

Could never understand how a group of such cool people have such an idiot as a friend.

Oi vey... is this really necessary Kid? I've seen a lot of stuff on these forums but your remarks here are unbelievably bluntly insulting and personal.

1.
danielmn wrote:Speaking of forced will....do you have any comment on the poll that shows 3/4 of alfa are actually against the proposition, Boom?
Copied from another thread. You obviously see people threatening to leave as forced will, but don't see you pushing forward a proposition that most alfans don't agree with as something different. Explain to me, if you will, the difference.

2. You would have us trust everyone in the community. Cited from another thread....
FoamBats4All wrote:The one sample we have of allowing DMing where you play on ALFA has resulted in that DM cheating.

The guy who is running for DMA on the platform of DMing where you play also cheated while he was HDM.
Would you not agree, that once trust is broken, it is not easily earned again? Given these two examples, do you really think the statement is wise, to trust everyone? Also, if you were DMA, and an HDM pulled something like what you pulled previously, what would your coarse of action be, to maintain a fair and balanced playing field for ALL ALFANS, not just those you like, or are your friends?

3. What rules, if any, would be put into play with the proposition of dming where you play? What restrictions would there be, and what consequences would be rendered if trust was once again broken?

4. Given that you abused power previously as HDM, why should I and the rest of Alfa trust you, once again, in a position of power that could be abused? Fool me once....shame on you.....

As a person who votes solely based on the amount of drama that the elected official will provide for my entertainment...

Will you continue to be a source of drama once you are elected or will you fade into obscurity and do little to satisfy this desire on my part until your term is up?
