[QUOTE="Kannik, post: 9648025, member: 984"] From my experience, I'd expand that to say that with everyone who aims to join the group, and broaden the question: Are they willing to contribute to the group and it's playstyle? If so, cool! They don't need to be as invested as everyone else, they don't need to contribute the most, this doesn't need to be their favoritest thing in the world, and even if they're there primarily because their friend/etc is there, if they participate in a way that makes the game a bit better/fun/exciting, then they're golden. :) So for my main gaming group, though we're "short on players" I always vet (with everyone else) whether someone who'd like to join us will meet us where we are and if so we'll bring them in, no matter what relationship or not they may have with anyone. I guess the lesson here is that once you have a great group, it pays to "protect" it while still walking the middle path to ensure you don't end up creating a spiked fortress wall. [/QUOTE]
