[QUOTE="night_lord, post: 1099954, member: 13940"] "Quote: Your rules are not unreasonable. That said, has the conduct around your table recently worsened? Has something changed recently: a new set of players or new direction for the campaign? It seems to me as though your players are trying to send you the message that your campaign bores them and they would rather be doing something else. You might want to ask them why they have become so bored when you announce the new table rules" We have a guy who, because of schedual doesn't play often. He is bad for distracting others. I've talked to him about it and he has gotten better, just not a lot better. "Quote: guess the question is why are they doing it? I mean in one of the games I play in, I read a book all th time,because of th game masters style, he spend about 30 minutes dealing with each character having them role play things, so it can be an hour before he gets back to my character, so I read, to stop me form being bored, and also to stop me from kibitzing with the other players who aren't doing anything, and detracting from the gm. I guess a lot of it is what your group enjoys, if you have a problem, by all means let the group know,but not every one games for the same reason, if I tried these rules out in the three games I am in, I wouldn't have any players, and I have my doubts about whether I would show up , at a game, liek that, My goodness, sitting there for 8 hours only speaking of the current campaign, and no socializing, seems a bit too intense for me, but then again i game to be social, and such. ken" Well I don't really split the group up very much. As a group we decided that we would do this as little as possible so there wouldn't be these periods where people were taking naps. As well I'm not saying that I expect them to sit there and ONLY focus on the game, if I'm giving that impression then you're misunderstanding me. I know that it's impossible and not fun to not socialize. I'm talking about extremes here BTW how do you do quotes now? There used to be a button to hit.
