Message: <blockquote data-quote="green slime" data-source="post: 936516" data-attributes="member: 1325">Incorrect. Macbrea ran a GoD, which you didn't participate in. Macbrea too suffered DM burnout. It IS tough DM-ing one of these.I wasn't talking about your inabilities to deal with a DM, I was talking about how you somehow seem to feel you are the only one singled out unfairly. My "eyes" are open. You may have a point or two buried in some of your harsh statements about the DM. HE himself admitted he made mistakes. EVERYONE makes mistakes. You just have to try and get on with it anyway. However, vitriolically attacking the DM will not attract more DMs willing to stick their necks out, to provide you and us with the entertainment we seek. Nor does it create sympathy for your cause, whether it is just or not.The thing is, as I see it, the DM has a responsibility to see to it that players all enter the gaming field at a somewhat similar level. If you find a loop hole in the rules, and create a character that will obviously win by default, or is so obviously more powerful than the others, it is well within the role of the DM to say "Congratulations!  But not in my game! Please change this or that."To do otherwise would seriously detract from the fun of all the other players. Which is one reason why Wish has never been allowed.I admit, I know absolutely nothing about the timing of the creation of your characters in clockworkjoe's game. Which is as it should be. However I do know you feel hard done by. Another reason for holding all the players strictly to the creation guidelines, with final approval by the DM. I didn't BLAME you for including OA stuff, I find it funny that you include OA stuff, and then complain about some of the other player's abilities which they were allowed in with. It all comes down to judgement calls on the side of the DM. I can guarantee you that every player feels hard done by in a GoD. "Why did this happen?" "Why this ruling?" "Why me?" "How?" are thoughts every player has. I do not "actively dislike you", I dislike the way in which you repeatedly show complete disrespect for the DM, who is not in this for his own benefit, but to provide US ALL with some entertainment, as best as he can. This attitude towards someone who has spent hours every day of their valuable free time only to be repeatedly insulted, really, really, gets my rile up. As for calling people obtuse when they disagree with your opinion... sheesh.Finally; When can we see you DMing a GoD?</blockquote>
