[QUOTE="Redclaw, post: 4321185, member: 53791"] [sblock=Albedo] I'm sorry that it felt like I was piling on. My intention was to minimize the negative impact on the DM. I'm sure Jemal didn't mean to imply that you were an idiot, but he was probably similarly defensive to your original post, which drips with anger and sarcasm. One of the big challenges with PbP, as it is with any text-based communications, is that there is no good way to express tone. In all likelihood, you were just venting your frustration with the situation, but it read as an attack on Jemal, who was then a bit short in his response. My intention in stepping in was to keep the DM, who really has the toughest job in all of this, from getting too frustrated. And for the record, I don't feel that any rules discussion is stupid. The nature of the game requires interpretation and adaptation, and the entire group should be involved, or at least kept up to speed, with that interpretation. [/sblock] [/QUOTE]
