[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 6626783, member: 19675"] I've played in games like that, so yes. My oft repeated anecdote about a 1Ed human fighter named Bear?* He had maxed out physical stats, and 6's in the mental stats. Fun character, and not just 'cause he kicked ass in combat, but equally because he was a blast to RP out of it. His death in combat was a major event in the campaign, and it was precipitated [I]entirely[/I] by the way his mental stats shaped the RP aspects of the character. If everyone else in the room were watching the show with interest, no, that would not be bullying. Terse, perhaps, but not bullying. Bullying would be her making a big enough fuss that the channel got changed away from what others were watching. Telling someone "no" with the addendum that they can leave the area/group, etc. if that denial is not to their liking isn't bullying. Nor would pointing out that one's displeasure is at least partially their own fault because of decisions they have made. Because [I]bullying[/I] is about power and control to the detriment of another. It is an intentional inflicting of distress upon another being in order to please the bully. * See second post [url]http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?249719-The-Heroic-Death[/url] [/QUOTE]
