... Except Rogue has been branded as RPG for 20+ years. Who are you to dispute that?
I don't, and I have no idea why you would think so. I never said that Diablo II = Rogue. It's not even the same genre, considering what Diablo II is.

Rogue is an RPG because it has strong RPG elements. The similarities between Rogue and Diablo II is not the RPG but the dungeon crawl element. Which is: roam a dungeon or map, kill monsters, get XP and way more importantly loot, repeat ad nauseatum.

The dungeon crawl element is what define Rogue-likes. I've played plenty of Rogue-likes with no RPG elements whatsoever.

Because you guys are mods so you get to make the poll questions heavily biased?
Why is it that everytime you seem to be getting in a nice direction you always have to blow it up with nonsense? I don't even want to answer to this.

Remember, it's not because you're paranoid that we're not looking for you! (Or something... )

I can compromise by agreeing with you that its not a classic RPG. But you can't even compromise a tiny bit by agreeing that Diablo II has enough RPG elements in it to be branded 'Action-RPG'. Shouldn't we try to find some solution that everyone is happy with?
You assume that I am looking for a solution that everybody would be happy with. I don't, and I'm not stupid enough to think there is even one. Like in politics, there is no solutions which everybody without exception would be happy with. The worse politicians are those who believe that, for they always try to appease everybody and always fail miserably every single time.

What I really do is seek the truth. Even if in the end I would be the one unhappy about it.

If the truth kills, let it kill. It's pretty obvious why you don't want to answer. I noticed your reaction for most of our 'nonsense' is that you just 'dont wanna answer'.

You are stupid if you think there isn't one. Because there really is a solution we can all be happy with, but you just don't want to make it possible. And this is not like politics at all. Its more like everyone telling you facts, and you holding your hands to your ears and saying 'I don't wanna answer'. If you seek the truth, then give it a chance for gods sake. I'm not even asking you to accept anything we're saying here at all! I'm asking you to open your mind to others' ideas. What your saying essentially is that there is no solution and you don't care to even try to to work out a solution. You just want to keep arguing about Diablo 2 forever?

Yeah, the truth is that you have so nothing to say that you go even as far as to call a paranoia theory about mods pulling strings around such a pointless poll.

Why don't you just create your so prized poll instead of hiding in a hole in fear of what might actually happen?

It's not a paranoia theory; its a fact. Fifth was biased already against it being Action-RPG, so he created an unfair poll.

Hiding in my hole of fear? My god does it look like I'm scared here? I told you already I'm completely confident that if we had a proper poll ACTION-RPG would take the cake. I don't really want to create a new poll because UNLIKE YOU I want to find a workable compromise for everyone so that we can end this dumb argument! I was just saying that IF this poll had the right question the odds would have been stacked in Action-RPG's favor.

I have nothing to say? You're the one who doesn't wanna answer anything!!!

No, 'cause it's not an RPG. And it's not the pitiful defense I've seen so far which will make me change my mind...
