In the position of the DM, these type of people will readily accept valid rulings from players, provided that it doesn't degenerate into an argument which spoils the night for everyone present.2) The type who doesn't care about the rules, and believe the rules are secondary to the game. They believe that any mention of the rules breaks down the game, and will tend to react negatively to anyone who attempts to bring up an incorrect ruling.In general either game can be fun if both groups of people remember civility and grace, and are not out for a fight. Typically, telling someone to shut up when they're pointing out a rule is not conducive to a good gaming experience, nor is going on about an incorrect ruling. Be receptive and listen to what people have to say.Kalendraf and Shouit - I'd suggest the two of you have a chat and work out what level of rule-adherance you want in a game.</blockquote>
