[QUOTE="reveal, post: 156710, member: 1236"] Guess I have to defend myself now. :( I didn't gripe that I was made a fool of. I griped that I was railroaded into a situation without being given any opportunity to defend myself. I said that my wife agreed with me too (by the way, don't make it sound like I was whining by saying "and my wife agreed with me too!") to illustrate the point that I wasn't the only one who felt this way. I told everyone else to wait outside for a few minutes then to come in. Why? Because it would be easier to gather information about something without being in a group of people. Doing it solo would be easier to do. But I DID tell them to come in. I didn't say not to, I just said not at the same time. As for being mad because I was "made a fool of" that could not be further from the truth. So I was tossed out of a bar. Big flippin' deal. I could have cared less. But when I spend the time to create a character who I am having fun playing and I am forced by an arbitrary (I say arbitrary because sometime the DM makes us roll for things and sometimes he doesn't, but it never seems to be for the same reasons) decision to just "throw me out" because a) he wanted to and b) I cracked a joke. All I asked for was a chance to get out of the situation, that's all. Nothing else. Hell, if he had said "you try to get away and fail and they throw you out" after I rolled a dice, then I would not have complained. It would not have taken up game time (rolling a dice, failing and the DM saying you get tossed out cannot take more than 30 seconds) and that would have been that. And we play every Saturday from 4pm to about 11pm or Midnight, so we are not lacking for time. [/QUOTE]
