They are also obligated to tell me what they would LIKE to do, so I don't waste my time and theirs. Otherwise, you waste each others' time for little reason.I also have to disagree with and amend your last statement I quoted: They player is there to be entertained, AND TO ENTERTAIN. Just as I as a DM put in my time and effort before and during, they put in effort during to participate, have fun, contribute to the social dynamic. A guest at a party has the same obligation: Both to partake of a good time, and contribute their part of socializing to the group. I wouldn't repeatedly invite a guest to my parties who had no fun and always sat like the proverbial bump on a log; the same thing applies to a game session. One shows one's respect to a GM who puts time and effort in by letting them know (when asked) whether they are having fun.My players and I (and I suspect yours too) entertain one another during games all the time; whether through fun roleplay, or through a well-timed joke, they are there for my fun as much as I am theirs.</blockquote>
