[QUOTE="Caeleddin, post: 2241158, member: 31912"] Celebrim - Pity fool that tries to be witty instead of laying out his argument in a logical, coherent manner. He thinks he is smart, but being the loudest vessel, one can only presume that he is the emptiest one. Nothing you have said has convinced me that you are a good DM by any measure. Your arrogant and rude responses to arguments and criticisms here show that you are the stereotypical "power-tripping" DM. You are NOT God. Get over yourself, please. You have a world. So what? All of us have one. Without players, what are they? When one plays a game, ANY game, one expects rules to be followed and those rules known before hand. Soccer, football, cricket, badminton, tennis, Monopoly, yes, even RPGs. Either you tell the players so they understand the rules and can act accordingly, or you don't use those rules. "Oh, didn't I tell you? There is no gravity in this world." "What do you mean you hit? No you don't. Laws of physics in this world is states that you always miss if you aim straight. Didn't I tell you? Too bad!" If the sole purpose of you being a DM is to make up new rules at every turn in order to maim the players, you are power-tripping. By definition, you are a bad DM. Deal with it. Then again, it seems that expecting honour, decency and fairness of others is too high an expectation for me to have these days. [/QUOTE]
