Or vice versa? I know that a lot of acquaintances I used to game with in school have long stopped because of others interests in life and the combination of not having anyone to keep playing with. In that respect, I'm lucky to have a few friends who maintain the interest to game. A lot of people have told me that they've outgrown the game, though I suppose from their perspective on what adult life is suppose to be, that they have. You just have to keep trying if you are interested in gaming. There'll always be some problems as expected and I'm pretty sure you know. But to what level could you deem acceptable or to what relations would you have to expect from your fellow gamers ... just gaming people or friends who game together. Its really up to you. I apologize if I come across as entirely too forward but I don't understand your second last paragraph and I suppose it confuses me as well as makes me wonder about the rest of your post when you say in the beginning that you're uncomfortable with racial, ethnic and religious jokes? Mind you, I got a whole brunt of jokes like that at some point of my gaming lifespan while I was travelling in the U.S.A. I am Buddhist, Asian and gay. I hope I'm not speaking out of context.</blockquote>
