To be or not to be?

[aquaMat]

Very interesting points you both have made.

Even though I know that there are people who do and others who do not love custom graphics, I don't think it is a good idea to

force

the gap (or schism) between those groups (for example by putting their resp. stuff and discussions in two different categories), as I not only think that the two groups can very well exist peacefully next and with each other in the world of MM, but - and that's more important - I strongly believe there are a lot of peoiple out there, who are not so sure if they belong only in one of, or in any of those 2 groups of people.

Just take myself as an example (sorry): I absolutely like MM in its original form, and love designing mansions with the original graphics and trying to work around the limitations of the original tiles and sprites to com e up with something new. On the other hand, I also love and design custom graphics mansions.

And some more than others: I am absolutely no fan of Science Fiction, let alone SciFi-games....so, while I marvel at all the work that has gone into Dominator, I'm not too much of a fan of it, compared to

Mummy's Revenger

or TOTOMBS, which I both think to be fantastic. (But as a designer, I know how fantastic Dominator is....)

So, which group am I belonging too ??

Please be careful !!
Let us not initiate aversities and

opponent groups

where there are in reality only several different points of view

.... as always, BTW.
