The Culture: It's About The World, Not Your Man

Dude makes a valid point.

The Comments confirm his observations about why how you roll your man matters.

The hangup people have over this is that they still think that they are married to their character sheet. That's because they play wrong.

This stops being an issue once you play proper--you play Braunstein--and thus are forced to stop being married to a sheet; the rules of the game force you to play a roster of mans, each of whom is in different places at different times doing different things, and you can add mans to that roster at any time.

Having a roster means you cease to be overly invested in any of them, and being overly-invested is a dysfunction of the hobby that plays right into the rest of the Known Issues in Tabletop.
