Well I am thirty-five, so that's like once every ten years. It's not like I make a habit of it. Sorry, I'm genuinely a bit confused here... You thing I'm weird because I think that it's possible for a women who tries to have a platonic friendship with someone who's unavailable for anything...

Well in a sense nothing. I know the friendship was over, which was why I said: I'm working on the assumption that she wants nothing to do with me, which is why I haven't made any attempt to contact her. I guess what pisses me off a bit is the way women (at least an awful lot of women) claim...

Well just an aside, I've got quite a few female platonic friends, and I generally find I don't have a problem having a platonic friendship as long as don't fall in love with them (which has happened twice in my lifetime). I have to say that I find it a bit hard to believe that women are immune...

Just out of interest, when you did that, did you let the bloke know were breaking off contact (i.e. say to him, "I'm sorry, but I think it's best if we go our separate ways") or did you just stop speaking to him (so he was left not quite knowing how you felt about him - angry? upset? speaking...

Glad someone's enjoying it. I nearly committed suicide on page one when someone said that girls don't go for guys who wear tie-die t-shirts. :)

Well that was more a hypothetical example. In *my* recent(ish) case, when we had the "conversation" she insisted that it didn't in any way change how she felt about me, and we agreed that I should probably take a few weeks to get my head together and then get back in contact with her when I had...

$90? That's nothing! :) I'm owed a total of around £4800 (around $9000 at current prices) by two particular girls. :) Yes, I am a mug when it comes to women. And to answer the inevitable questions about why I haven't tried / insisted on getting the money back: a) These were verbal...

Thing is, it's still rejection either way. Consider these two scenarios: * * * * * Boy and girl are friends - perhaps they sometimes trade jokey emails, help each other with various things (homework, DIY, shopping) and sometimes go to the pictures together where it's a film they both like...

I wouldn't dream of touching someone who I wasn't in some kind of relationship with. Hell! I'm usually a bit cautious when I am in a relationship. I've actually had times, when in bed with a girl, where she's got so annoyed at me constantly checking to see if she is still okay with me touching...

Well what happened to you was totally out of order, especially, incredibly so in the last example. That's not really anything I can say about that, except to say, well, sorry I guess, on behalf of my gender. What I was talking about though, was the following two types of cases: a) Where you...

LOL :)

The problem is that when a woman says "I want us to be friends" (either after declining a request for a date or when dumping you at the end of a relationship) she might mean either of two things... a) That she wishes to persue a long-term platonic friendship with you. b) That she never wants...

I don't know. As a player, whilst I trust myself to not act upon player information, if possible, I'd rather not know it in the first place - because the game is more fun that way. Knowing too much player information can feel like you're reading a book you've already read whilst pretending you...

No. Is that based on this idea/issue?

Oh that's very true, but there are limits: you can't fudge when you've just rolled a twenty to attack and a maximum on the damage roll. The PCs know that they are operating without a safety net, and that whilst you might do what you can to help them, at the end of the day, if they slip... Well...

Exactly! There's nothing like the tension you get as five sets of eyes track a bouncing D20 across a table knowing that if it comes up twenty, a PC dies.

I trust the GM as much as I trust myself. And I don't trust myself to kill PCs. I know I've pulled the "it only does 3 HPs trick" in the past, and I know some of the other guys have done it when GMing. It's all very well saying that people want rolls applied without bias, but having their...

I roll in the open because otherwise I would never have the resolve to kill a PC, and conversely, my players would lose the sense of danger that comes from knowing that their characters might die. I hate combats where we (the PCs) succeed against apparently overwhelming odds (perhaps barely)...

Well don't quote me on this, but I think it might have been that originally, people were able to find nuggets of various metal either on the surface itself, or very close to the surface, and that we only had to start digging deep mines after we'd exhausted the surface deposits. If that is true...

Well I didn't say that the rows were here! :) Actually, given that this is a D20 board, you wouldn't expect to have people here get upset about a game being D20, which I guess is why you hadn't encountered people complaining about Judge Dredd's "D20ness". But as you can see from the threads I...
