Message: <blockquote data-quote="Oryan77" data-source="post: 5165752" data-attributes="member: 18701">I partly kid on the rarity of hearing a compliment. I'm sure I've been complimented a few times before. But in my experience, yeah, it's pretty rare to hear a direct verbal compliment. But it honestly doesn't bother me. The compliment for me is the fact that they keep showing up to play and seem genuinely interested while they are playing. It also means a lot when they do this without ever complaining about anything or arguing with me while we play. I'm more of a "show me" person than a "tell me" person....words don't mean as much to me as actions do.Oh definitely. Plus we just want to control people and boss them around. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/laugh.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" />I've been accused of the ego/control freak label a couple of times. But it's not even close to being true; well, I do control how the world works, isn't that what a DM is for? Strangely enough, it always seems to be the whiny, deva, controlling players that says something like that to me. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/ponder.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":hmm:" title="Hmmm    :hmm:" data-shortname=":hmm:" />They never seem to understand when I say, "That's not the kind of campaign I'm currently running. But I'll gladly play in that type of game if you want to DM it."</blockquote>
