Jaune, BM started as a role playing game and evolved from there, not the other way around. Just because some people haven't been role playing for however many years they have been here, doesn't mean it all of a sudden was a strategy game first.
You realize that Jaune is one of the early, early players, and would probably know what the early game was like...
If Lapallanch is right that it started as a side project of SM, with that he proves jaune's point. SM was to be where most if not all the roleplay took place, with BM providing a background of the world using a more strategic setting.
