[QUOTE="Roland Delacroix, post: 488018, member: 1753"] I voted no for similar reasons listed above. I've been mainly DMing for the past 5 years so I tend to be a bit ruleslwayer-ly. I also stay too much in character when the other players are just screwin around sometimes, from my strict RP L5R games. When I first started playing i had some really bad DM's. In those games my character never did anything effective, he was always useless no matter how creativlly i played him. I tried to compensate with RP'ing, but in those days we all did hack-n-slash. I eventually quit playing with those DM's but today I still get paranoid about making sure my character has at least SOMEthing to do in a group. Because of this I tend to min/max quite a bit and bug my DMs alot about stuff. I also come up with some really whack ideas sometimes. Luckily the other PC's are usually sane enough to say 'yes' to the good ideas and 'no' to the bad ones. EDIT: OMG the biggest thing. I have the most terrible memory. I'll game on Monday night and again Thursday night and have no idea what we did 3 days ago. Two weeks ago I showed up, asked where we were, I said something like "uh, last i remember we found a passage under a mountain or something? and killed a chimera?" My Dm- "Thats good tony, but that happened 3 months ago..." When I remember to I have to take pages of notes. After 5 min of reading before the game it all comes back to me. [/QUOTE]
