[QUOTE="bloodtide, post: 9632258, member: 6684958"] For this game, you might just want to end it. And for your next game, you want to find good players. RPGs have this wacky idea that you should play the game with your "friends". And people count their "friends" as people they know the name of. And this works great for board games. And this works great for Casual RPGs. You can "hang out" with your friends for several hours....maybe even play a bit of 'the game' for many a whole hour, and just have fun and relax. For a lot of people, this is a great time. Your not one of them...... You want more from the game....making it much more a social activity not "just a game". A lot of people will never understand that, and just as many people won't care. And plenty of them will hate you as your not a Casual Gaming Goofball like them. You have to let all these people go. Yes, even your best of best of best friends. You can still be friends, of course, just never ever game with them: You want to look for your type of people. You need to find a new group....or even make a new group....and often need to make new players of the game. It does take time and effort, but you CAN find players that like the game just as much as you. Players that fit in with everything you do and more. And then you can have some truly amazing games....so great they go beyond the description of "just being a game". It is worth it. [/QUOTE]
