[QUOTE="Petrosian, post: 181282, member: 1149"] [/B][/QUOTE] That is certainly how you wrapped it, or rather how you started it, but by your second post you were no longer talking about trolls but rather about your players. "Thats what I though, but I think all the players said simultaneously "He's Fighting Defensively?!?!?!?!"" And you do not have a problem with them judging your choices. and chose to ignore it and so far the only reasons given are that it made good tactical sense. As I tried to get across above, good tactical sense does not always make good sense in character. Then again, the DM teaches his players how to play so you will get back what you sow. Noting for the record that when the judgements were approval, that you did it right or that it was fair... you do not seem to have a problem with judgements at all. Or are people agreeing with you that you did it right not "judgements" but people disagreeing with you are judgements even when they offer reasons and alternatives to highlight the differences? I also notice how quick you are to respond when "your game" or "wether I'm a good dm or not" is found wanting in someone else's judgement but when, based on YOUR accounting some describes your players actions unfavorably with [b]"sounds like your player characters didn't have a high intelligence. Seems to me like the troll had a higher int score."[/b] you don't have a problem and say not a word to challenge that poster's right to judge your players performances when they have not even had a say? As for my right to judge, uhh..you brought your GMing to the table when you came here and posted publically questions and then proceeded to turn it to your players performances in the scene. If you solicit opinions, you might not always like the ones you get. I had hoped to dissent from the pat-on-back get-the-players norm you were getting and show you other possibilities than just "made tactical sense" for determining NPC actions. Oh well, waste of time.
