[QUOTE="Zelda Themelin, post: 5373738, member: 167"] I disagree, this varies very much from group to group. And as my personal preferance goes didn't mean break down everything by numbers, but dm should describe if opponent seems to hit really hard (power attack), or hit you very nastily (crit or backstab) etc. Lol, and I shouldn't do or think anything, I dont' even play with you. But you probably meant it as generalization about your opinion. I most of time would agree with this, but I've seen many opposing situation. Sometimes reasons to whine are very good indeed. Whining and other passive aggressive behavior is not nice, but unfortunaly some people act that way when they feel upset or stressed. Not everyone can hide negativity and discuss problems directly and logically. And it doesn't help if one you have to convince about something hates all critique. I don't know person in question, so I have no idea if he's reasons to sulk are legimate or just selfish "I must get all good, and nothing bad" behavior. Usually it's mix of both, and since he seems to also act ok in games, it might be specific situations causing negative feelings and maybe partially fact that he is new in game and unsure about rules and being treated same as everyone else. I've noticed with my few friends after they quit rpg for 2 years and played wow became impatient and started to have control issues with dm, and rule arguments, also they seemed to dislike "too chalenging situations". It took like four months before they got back their prior gaming mood. Anyhow, I truly hope you all start enjoying that game DoctorDM. [/QUOTE]
