[QUOTE="Ian Demagi, post: 3670211, member: 43754"] [b]Non Contributing Players[/b] Quiet does not mean non contributing. Another poster made a good point about the guy who kept track of everything. I have seen good players that were very non vocal such as a guy who helps set up battle maps, knows the rules without looking stuff up, acts like a game mechanic refreree's assistant. The guys is quiet, but he's very much engaged in the game. Like someone else said some people are just introverted. I would give him some time to sort somethings out. It also might be that the personalities already in the group are very strong. It might take a while to sort stuff out. You also might ask him how did you like the game? Was it hard to get a comment or idea in? If he was engaged he may tell you. It also might be a chance for him to tell you,this isn't for me rather than just not showing up leaving people wondering. We had a guy try our game group and then another. When we asked him what he thought he told us, he liked the other game better because it was loser run. We wished him well and he went on his way-he would have never been happy and would have evetually gone away. If he had stayed we would have missed out on a guy who has been in for 5 years and one of the groups pillar players because we would have been "full." Ian [/QUOTE]
