[QUOTE="Mark van Dyk, post: 1471014, member: 18160"] [b]I only wrote...[/b] I only wrote what I did because it seemed that you were still attempting to defend certain aspects of the game. I did not know that so many people were unhappy with the way things were and that so many people wanted to do other things. I asked many times if people wanted to go on other errands, but never did they say in the game. They preferred to say it when I wasn't around! This kind of behind my back nonsense went on all the time, as if everyone was afraid of me. The whole secrecy about playing at Chris's comes to mind. If it is anyone's failure in this regard, it is players who don't bring their own ideas forth and then follow through with them. If I am that over-bearing, then it is still best that I not play. In truth, I am not berating you for failures. I am only saying what I didn't like, just as I would say what I did like. Yes, I have harped on it, but only because I still feel that no one understands where I am coming from, though some (I won't mention names) do. Inzeladun is fine. You are a fine DM. I learned everything about DMing from you. But, there are aspects of playing right now that I am not sure will ever be remedied as far as my own personal desires are concerned. Therefore, I must run the game my way! Anyway, I am sorry you feel so attacked. I wasn't really meaning it to get you so riled up. And honestly, though you say I am welcome to play, I cannot help feeling that this is not wholly true for you or others. If it was, then people would not be so squeamish about taking their own initiatives during game play. Trying to please everyone is difficult. Yet working with a group who cannot communicate their own desires openly within the group and trying to please them all is worse. I feel for you. I had no idea that stuff was even going on. I feel that I failed as a leader, too, if I was not able to enable those within the group to achieve their own goals. It is the same old disease. Not to boo-hoo about things, but it is just like old times. No one likes playing with me! LOL Oh well. It's just as I've always said... [/QUOTE]
