lol, roguebfl!!! If you min/max to make yoyur charater effective and have points left over for "fluff" (by which you mean "useless" background and roleplaying skills), you're not really min-maxing! ;)

MUNCHKIN: A player who uses out-of-game info to the character's advantage and plays the game in a vain attempt to WIN and prove his speriority to all the other "LOSERS" at the table. This can involve min-maxing and rules-lawyering, activities which in and of themselves are not bad...however, the munchkin is not doing it for the benefit of the group or to help the GM, but to wheedle some "ADVANTAGE" for himself ALONE.

Q: GM, are you using the d20 rules system?
A: No. GURPS is fun. D20 games are not fun. The GM says so.

Playing d20/3.5 makes Baby Jesus cry.
