[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 8164466, member: 6801228"] Okay. So since it is so rare, why is it so necessary? You have stated that the game cannot possibly work without a DM to enforce the rules, because people disagree. But, when we dig down into it for the last year and a half it has been "somethings here and there.... probably something simple (gives an example of a rule misunderstanding, not a full on disagreement)" So, with that being the case, with it being rare and usually something that would be solved by opening the book and reading the rule, why then is it so hard for you to imagine a game that works without someone specifically needing to step in and be a "final authority" It sounds like you haven't had to actually do that for months at a time, if not the entire year and a half. So why is this idea so impossible? Edit: Looking at your next post... it seems to be because you think the players will begin bending and twisting the rules for every advantage. You are assuming bad faith players. [/QUOTE]
