[QUOTE="twofalls, post: 2187258, member: 23718"] I was following down the list of responses looking for this one to make certain it was voiced. My opinion exactly. GM's, regardless of the game being run, are leaders, organizers, and the final arbiter of the game. This is well stated. The only thing I'd add is not to say this in front of the group. Inform him in private, and in person. Be firm but make it clear to him that you aren't mad at him over this anymore, you've just made your decision and he can live with it or choose to leave now. If you can't get to the point where you aren't mad or can deal with him one on one in a calm fair fashion, then the issue isn't his anymore and no one on this board is going to be able to advise you on how to get over it because only you will know the answer. Bravo! Again well said. I've been gaming 27 years myself, maybe that's why I'm agreeing so easily with you're perspective on this. :) By the way Virel, kudos to you for taking the time to think about this and then looking for other people's advice. It says good things about you that you are willing to ask for help in a situation like this. [/QUOTE]
