[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 5268367, member: 22779"] Yeah, that's the trick isn't it? How do you say to someone, "Gee, umm, you suck at this don't you?" without actually coming out and saying that. :D BTW, before any of the people I currently play with jump into this thread and think I'm pooping on them, it's not. I've seen this in multiple groups and from multiple players. Like I said before, if someone's tactical sense only impacted that character, that's fine. It's their character, if they're having fun with it, groovy. But, often, someone's lack of tactical sense impacts the group. Someone does something rather blindingly stupid, but lucks out and survives, but, the guy across the table buys it instead. It's pretty hard not to have some hard feelings about that. When Player A does something stupid and Player B (and possibly C and D as well) get punished for it, it's a problem. How does one deal with this problem, errr.... tactfully? [/QUOTE]
