[QUOTE="bloodtide, post: 9077884, member: 6684958"] It is often hard to find players for a game. So many times in the past I went through so much just to try to start a game. So, years ago, I started to really weed out players. Using harsh judgement and zero tolerance is a great way to find good players. I have a LOT of house rules, and most of them are MADE to make a certain type of player away from the game. Just having a lot of houserule makes some players run away from the game....and this is the type of player that I want to keep away from my game. Not only if they think "a lot of houserules is too many", but also if they do the "snap decision" of seeing "too many houserules" and then being overwhelmed with hate and worse emotions. And finally, I'm harsh about the game time itself. Show up late or ghost...I will kick you out of the game. You want to waste two hours "ordering food", I'll just kick you from the game and you can sit at home and "order food" all day and night. [/QUOTE]
