[QUOTE="Mark, post: 4776662, member: 5"] If I do not quote your entire post, you assume I didn't read it? Okay. You either do not understand how percenatges work or believe that 100 times or more is rare. That would be my other point. I think if you wind up in as many games that are not to your liking as your posting indicates then all of those DMs are not communicating well. If you know that a banned race is going to make you leave a campaign after several games you probably shouldn't join in the first place. The time of your own that is wasted is multiplied by however many other players are in the campaign. You might also have taken a seat from someone else with more dedication to a campaign that would have stayed with the group rather than ignored an obvious sign and left later. It's kinda rude, actually. You seem to want to downplay the obvious communication difficulties that arise from your experiences (by throwing quotes around the word "research") when all it really means is that you should be more forthcoming with the other members of a group, a group that is kind enough to invite you to play. It really isn't much different than walking off a softball field in the third inning of the first game of a season because playing fast pitch is something you've decided retrospectively is not your bag. Sure, they are both just games but it doesn't reduce your responsibility to be honest and up front with the other participants. At the very least, you should let people know that you have a habit of walking off after a campaign has begun because of thingsyou knew in advance so that the other players have the option of inviting someone else to play who has fewer stipulations and quirks.
