[QUOTE="Storm Raven, post: 2237107, member: 307"] Leaving is the ultimate trump card. It says "you can't DM for me". But this is just trivial. I don't think we are disagreeing on much here besides terminology. [i][/i] Leaving doesn't mean you fail to play. It means you aren't playing [i]with him[/i] (or her, as the case may be). [i][/i] And frequently stop being DMs. Which is the ultimate trump card. [i][/i] Yeah, in the United States they are. They take an oath where they swear to uphold the various laws that their jurisdiction covers, and they are constrained by that (and the existence of an appeals court). Judges can (and have) been removed from office for failing to uphold the law. But furthermore, a judge (like a DM) is [i]expected[/i] to follow the law.
