[QUOTE="bloodtide, post: 9225072, member: 6684958"] Not exactly. I have several groups of good, decent players.....many who I had to make into good players. But unlike seeming everyone online here, I also play with strangers. I might post a game and try to find some random strangers to play with or much more common a group of strangers will apprch me and ask me to DM for them. Either way they are strangers, and I know very little about them other then their names. I, also seemingly unlike everyone online here, am open to playing with people I don't like or worse. Just because we don't agree on everything all the time, does not mean we can't just play a RPG for a couple hours and have fun. So this is where the question comes from. My pools of good players never have a problem and would never, ever say something like "I want my actions to matter". But ask nearly of the players online and they will repeat the line "I want my actions to matter". And in real life nearly every gamer stranger, unlikable player or bad player will repeat the same line "I want my actions to matter". And a player might say all sorts of random things....but in the end they will just suddenly, randomly pick something and complain their action does not matter. Often when something happens they don't like. And sure I can stop the game and have a very special time out safe place joy fest. And try to get the player to explain "why do you act like a 5 year old just as the bank vault is locked?" But sadly ones a player is triggered in this way any type of conversation is impossible. And as they are strangers, unlikable or bad people...I can't just ask them to come talk when they are calmed down. But the exact same thing is common on the internet....and games played elsewhere. Lots and lots and lots of players will post about "they want their actions to matter". Like over in the "what do you want from the game" thread....it has gotten mentioned. So I was looking for a (clam) person online to help with this problem. [/QUOTE]
