[QUOTE="Sword of Spirit, post: 7652948, member: 6677017"] What I struggle with as a player is simply a desire to expedite the game. I can see what the GM is doing, and I can see what is bogging stuff down, and I have to bite my tongue not to start "GMing" the other players while the GM is preoccupied with something. I think what has helped is for me to simply ask my GM, "What can I do to help make your job easier?" Being given an assignment to do things such as *be* the rules lawyer (or at least reference librarian) or be given an opportunity to take over playing NPCs that might be accompanying the party, can go a long ways to keeping me inline. ;-) Of course, I'm also a big problem-solver, and I see things such as "game comes to halt while rules looked up" or "players not ready to take their turn when initiative comes around" as problems to be solved.
