Message: <blockquote data-quote="Celtavian" data-source="post: 6641066" data-attributes="member: 5834">Majoru is in one of those no win situations. He's firmly entrenched in a gaming group where both parties involved in the conflict have strong relationships with the other parties involved in the gaming activity they both participate in. Both have been part of this group for years and probably enjoy being part of the group. I have been in his situation, though not for organized activities. I game with friends I've known for over twenty years. Some of these friends were friends with other guys I don't necessarily enjoy gaming with and we have had blow ups at the table where everyone has to start deciding who they're going to game with. It's a tough situation to be in. We have had such extreme blow ups that guys haven't shown up again for years because one guy or the other has said, "If this guy shows up, I'm not showing up." You can't win in these situations. Most of the tertiary parties who don't have a conflict with either of the conflicting parties don't want to pick sides. They leave it up to the two parties involved to work the beef out. If they can't, they wait until one of them leaves not caring which it is. What if Majoru presses it and the majority of people side against him? Does he try to recruit a whole new group? Or they decide they want him to leave and the other guy to stay? Does he leave and try to find a new group and rebuild the same level of friendship he has with the current group? Is this conflict making annoying everyone else because they think both Majoru and this other guy are acting like asses? It's a bad situation with no easy resolution. If it were me, either the guy I didn't like gaming with would leave or I would leave. I'd make it clear that the choice needed to be made. I would abide by the group choice finding something else to do. If Majoru isn't willing to do that, he should swallow it, ignore the guy's outbursts while he's dming, and avoid the conflict as much as possible.</blockquote>
