[QUOTE="Oryan77, post: 3398948, member: 18701"] Most people I've gamed with have been the type to throw dice or get huffy-n-puffy when things don't go their way. I thought it was human nature to do that :p It actually doesn't bother me to see a player get upset. It makes me feel good because he's actually passionate about the game and his character. I've never seen anyone rip up a character sheet though or cause damage to something. I have a bad temper, but it usually only comes out when I'm being confronted or challenged. If a player starts arguing with me, I lose my patience quickly and argue back. I realize I do that, so I try to be more passive when a player annoys me. A funny example was when my fiance got riled up about something in the game before I even finished explaining the situation. I don't remember what it was about, I just remember her complaining and getting upset while I just listened & smiled. When she was done talking, I said, "Ok, now that she's done, I'll finish explaining everyones current situation....". They learned that what they thought was "about to screw them" was nothing to be worried about in the first place. Everyone laughed at her and she got pretty embarassed :p [/QUOTE]
