[QUOTE="AFGNCAAP, post: 1364579, member: 871"] Ultimately, I'd suggest playing it safe & try to find another group. However, that leaves the possibility of finding a group that's either "worse" on the compatability issues than your current one, or finding a more "complimentary" group to play with that happens to be sporadic/unstable. You could make the current situation work by simply applying 1 simple rule--absolute avoidance of any sort of political/religious/socioeconomic discussion. And, out of respect for the other people, let them know of your concerns, & that you would like to avoid such topics out of respect for your views & their views. Of course, if they object to this, or even relish in trying to clash or one-up you on these issues (possibly trying to incite some sort of conflict), then I'd politely recommend you to get the heck outta Dodge. ;) There's always more to life than politics & religion--movies, literature, gaming, pets, food, etc. Try to avoid thinking only of them in political & religious contexts, and try to avoid having them think only of you in political & religious contexts as well. Then again, I am curious about why your former "link" to the group dropped out--off of what MS mentioned, it sounds like there was some sort of incident or rift that occurred during their time off from gaming (whether unintentionally from some sort of past event, merely imagined, or what). Is it just toward you 2, or is it toward the gaming group in general? (Heck, there may have been some issues they had with everyone else that prompted them to move on.) [/QUOTE]
