I don't know what theory you have in mind. Potential is based on salary, not directly on skill level -- and this is 100% true unless you have some reason to believe the game developpers are lying to all of us.

provide a quote from BBs then... Or just stop act you know for sure. You have a theory, not a fact.

I can tell you with almost complete certainty that your experience is wrong.

No comment. Is there some "best-of-quotes" thread somewhere?

Do you understand what a GM does?

NO ONE at this table ordered a rum & Coke
Charles: Penn has some good people
A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

Unfortunately, I don't tend to carry a recorder when I talk to people. Bad luck for you -- you'll just have to live with my word on it.

So this is your way of saying: It has been officially confirmed by the BBs that potential is defined on salary?

The one thing I can confirm is that potential is defined on a combination of skills in the same manner salary is. Which I guess is observationally identical to "defined on salary".

not addressed to me, but I don't really. GMs take part in speculative discussions on their own behalf, and sometimes they mediate to the BBs. But it is almost never clear which is which - I guess mostly they are just speaking their own mind. So I think it's reasonable to assume so unless a GM adds a little clause like "I have official confirmation from the BBs that..."


Generally GMs should be speaking as GMs - that tag beside our names tends to give people the impression that whatever we say is official.

I try my best to qualify any statements that are speculation on my part as such.

Co-signed. I think it would be pleasant change if GMs (and especially some of them) discover phrases like "I think" "IMHO" "It's a wide consensus" "it only makes sense that" and such things unless they have a clear confirmation without any doubts from BBs about this or that topic. I can't care less but someone who would try to confuse people on purpose wouldn't do much better job (than you know who). That's nothing against anyone just there is a known pattern that somebody mixes his interpretentation with rules-like notorieties. (please if you want to answer what i guess you will use "to everybody" thanks).

LAs and MODs are considered staff as well, and also represent BB.

Remember that.

I'm aware of that. Pointing at something is a first step to improvement.
