Message: <blockquote data-quote="Morrus" data-source="post: 5984686" data-attributes="member: 1">Not at all. I'm saying that I would not be part of a group that would consider that rule to be reasonable. That's not a playstyle which matches mine, or anyone I know's, inclinations.  Again, not for me. These people are my friends, not my game-slave-minions tasked with the duty of appreciating just how damn important my game is. I have friends who haven't been to a game session in over a year for various reasons, but if they showed up tomorrow I'd be delighted to see them and make them feel as welcome as I'm able. I don't feel I have the right to exclude people from my circle of friends, even if I do happen to be running the current social activity we're all mutually engaged in.  And I couldn't possibly consider making time for and turning up for an activity somebody had arranged if they'd reserved the ability to simply tell me to go home again because someone else had broken one of their rules. Then again, as Water Bob has clearly indicated, the very fact that I wouldn't let him treat me in that manner excludes the very possibility of my being invited. But everyone can make their own choices. If that social dynamic works for Water Bob and his friends, I guess I'm in no position to object. I feel confident in saying that it's a social dynamic that would be alien not only to me but to all of my friends, but people are different; it makes no difference to me how other groups of friends interact with one another. I guess I just don't see the game itself as the important thing.  The friendships are the important thing; the game's just the activity.  Guess I'm old-fashioned that way.</blockquote>
