[QUOTE="Elvinis75, post: 927078, member: 4379"] I just went back and read this thread again and realized the problem. Metagaming! Metagaming breaks and bends the rules all over the place. Clairsentence(sp) for everyone. Why didn't they just tell the other PCs to retreat? After all people can see things that they are not privi(sp) to why not ESPN hearing too? I really thought that at some point the players talked among themselves about what was going to happen. No offense fusan, the problem isn't the players it is the system. Allowing a little metagaming here and there is different that incouraging it and expecting player to act omniscient(sp), man I can't spell tonight, all the time. Rules out the window because you aren't using the ones that should be governing this conversation. Why are the player limited to only knowing the inner monolog of the other players? I'm sorry for all the sarcasm but there has to be a little basis in the rules for a discussion to take place. How would I fix the situation in the future? Don't allow metagaming as a rule rather something that happens from time to time when players forget who knows what. Without that flaw none of this happens. The scouts leave and never come back. All the more reason for the other to keep putting on their armor. They sit the pine because of the other PCs that aren't doing there jobs right. Further did it really take all of the other four people to scout? Metagaming isn't the devil but it is a close cousin. [/QUOTE]
