[QUOTE="Chimera, post: 1890337, member: 2002"] I'm sorry to sound so harsh, [b]Galeros[/b], but you are insistently acting like a spineless loser. Now, I don't mean that as a personal attack (although I'm sure it sounds like it), but as fodder for self-reflection. Look at your constant replies here. [b]They[/b] won't let you. [b]They'll[/b] just complain. [b]They[/b] won't let you continue. SO?????? Like another has said, either do the thing or do NOT the thing. Either stand up and say "this is the way it is" or give up trying to be GM. If they don't like it, then simply stop GMing. Don't fight, don't argue, don't play games. If you have to call mom & dad or a friend to get a ride home one night, then you can explain to mom & dad why whining git of a brother didn't give you a ride home - because he was being a stupid whining [expletive] and decided to leave you stranded because you stood up to him. Look man, I'm telling you this because you're going to have to get used to this in life. People are always going to whine and complain and try to get you to back down from perfectly reasonable things. It's up to you to decide how YOU want to live your life and the rules you want to live by, then to do so without caving in every time [b]someone else[/b] says "I don't like that. Change it!". If I was so inclined to revisit the ugly past (which I am not), I'd tell you the story of two ex-friends who were unable to put their 2 year old boy to bed because "he'll just cry". Don't establish a pattern in your life where you back down every time someone complains or wants you to do things differently. Or you will never have control over your own life - you will always be a slave to the fears and demands of others. [/QUOTE]
