[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 9277517, member: 23751"] I never claimed you couldn't decide what you want for your game. We are discussing whether or not a DM(any DM) can come to a compromise with a player(any player) about something you consider to be binary. The answer is 100% yes. They can. Your little Timmy example is apples and oranges to what I am saying. So I'm going to rework it so that it's apples and apples. Little Timmy writes to Santa that he wants an X-box and an Ipad. Santa wakes little Timmy up when he gets to Timmy's house and says, "I'm sorry Timmy, I wasn't planning on giving you any electronics at all. However, [USER=205]@TwoSix[/USER] was very naughty to his parents last night and is getting coal, so I have an extra X-box. If you would like, I can give you that, but not the Ipad." Timmy then says, "Okay. I'll take the X-box since I've really been wanting it. Thanks!! Could you bring me an Ipad next year?" That is compromise. Both sides moved to the middle of their starting positions, just like the DM(Santa) and the player(Timmy) did with the smite example I posted upthread. [/QUOTE]
