Default Truth 101, Toy vs Game

I just read on a post were Reginald Rutledge said that to him this is a toy! WOW!!!!! No one jumped on him or lashed out at him for his comment. But a few years ago every one wanted to attack me for my comment checkers vs chess! I guess " You can't Handle the Truth" rtfl$ rtfl$

Toy is defined as something dimnutive, something a childs plays with, something you deal with lightly.

Game is defined as a procedure or strategy for gaining an end, a mental competition conducted according to rules, a division of a larger contest.

The way this hobby is played is that of a toy still. Many are returning to the toy they played as a child.

But there are people out there who don't want to return to play with a toy, no matter how much you try to dress it up to be something that it can not be it is what it is.

This I think is why some of you get offended by what I post because you're reading it through the eyes of a toy that you love, and I'm seeing through the eyes of a sports strategy game.

Much like the way I did when I gave the example of EF/MF being like checkers vs and MPFL being chess. As many have tryed to place a label of toy on the MPFL System.

So to the many coaches who love to play the way that you do, have fun, do what you do, and love what you love.

But there are coaches out there who don't want to play with, or view the hobby as a toy. They want more from this hobby, so now they have it.

I'm not trying to change the way that grown men play with there toys, but I wanted to create a game that address key points that a toy can never do. To address and focus on the mental aspect of the game and not the use of a prop.


Negative Comments: Some might post a somewhat negative comment and let me tell you why: They are offended, embarrassed, by the truth, they will jump to defend there feelings and to get the focus off the truth on to something else. Much like people who run from church to church, when the preacher preachres on there sin they get offended and run to another church.

Positive Comments: Some might post somewhat of a positive comments and let me tell you why: They take the time to read and understand what is writen, they look at the truth and are not offended by it.

Now I'm going to bring it home, Don't be offended it you like to play with a toy, no need to feel that way, if you do then you condemn you're self and try to put the bad light on me.

Vegitable vs Fruit, Car vs Motorcycle, Caveman vs To Days man, Day vs Night, Checkers vs Chess, Toy vs Game, Right vs Wrong. One can not be the other no matter how you dress it up. The elements make it what it is.
