[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 8608953, member: 93670"] Huh? Differing expectations is not simply a matter of "should we play defense or offense" in a team game, it's a disconnect on what the goals for game itself actually are & even what rules to follow. It is simply not possible to throw everything on the gm to simply "mix and match stuff" when a player has different expectations of the game. There is no way to include a catchers mitt in golf or bowling and an ambulance needs to be on the scene real fast if a baseball bat is [I]ever[/I] used in a game of hockey or football. If one player has a different set of "expectations" than the GM & the other players at the table it's somehow the job of everyone else to accommodate ThatGuy's desire to play baseball even though everyone else is playing a game other than baseball rather than having ThatGuy adjust his expectations? No matter how (un)common problem players & players with different expectations are in the wild, the number is never going to be zero. The GM is afforded trust & authority to keep things running at the table when that number is one or more at the table. Your posts read like the number is always going to be zero or it's the GM's fault for poor communication. [/QUOTE]
