[QUOTE="Xamnam, post: 9003357, member: 7037765"] This is the premise I've been missing. If folks are operating under this sort of sentiment, a lot of posts in this thread make more sense. Unfortunately, it does mean that there's really not much else I can say in regards to this perspective, other than that has not been my experience in many areas of life, including TTRPGs. It's certainly not how I behave. Even entirely self-enforced social conventions have a great deal of force to them. Maybe I have just been fortunate in who I play games with. Regardless, I'm inclined to push back on the likelihood/universality of that assumption, though, obviously, it's a thing neither of us can satisfyingly prove. [/QUOTE]
