Examples

“Point⟳ based systems have⟳ their problems. Some of us simply don't like⟳ them because, while D&D has its Munchkins, most of the PB-players we've encountered seem to be minmaxers whose greatest joy is wringing the very most out of their points. Forget⟳ ROLE playing.”

“One thing that annoys me is when someone posts a character or something, built, as minmaxers would say⟳, 'inefficiently.'”

“I agree⟳ that a minmaxer can usually make⟳ a character more suited to particular situations on less points than a player driven by a pre-existing concept, but for a well-designed system there will always be *some* way that their character is less effective.”
