When I get a time machine, the first thing I'm gonna do is go back to the moment the term 'roleplaying' game is invented and murder the person doing it.

Why must there be a hundred different definitions for this? When I was 10, I saw the first "Die Hard," and for two weeks after that, I wandered around my house, gunning down imaginary Germans and muttering "Yippee-kay-yayy, motherfucker," under my breath. I was pretending to be John McClain, and, by definition, roleplaying. Stats didn't matter, a character avatar didn't matter, and the story didn't matter. It was just me shooting Germans.

Hobo Elf said:What the fuck do you negroids mean when you say that an RPG is a game with stats? Every game has stats. You have to have stats. Does anyone want to be more specific with what you mean by stats?
You're saying I'm a moron because I'm saying some games you think are RPG arent? You can have fun with Mass Effect only if people agree that it is an RPG?First potemkin, now SuperNintendo Chalmers. Awaiting new moron.
potemkin said:And these rules say that Fallout is an RPG and Mario isn't, so unless someone comes up with a game that is clearly an RPG for whatever reasons but wouldn't be according to my rules, I'm happy with it.

Shut the fuck up.
Having the majority/mainstream believing in the contrary is not going to falter my confidence in my definition of RPG, and neither is an overabundance of games being marketed as more concentrated forms of Role-Playing than they actually are.

Someone needs a hug.
Sad to say it, but nothing you just said matters. The world is going where it's going, and there's nothing you can do to stop it, or more accurately: nothing YOU are doing is stopping it.
