[QUOTE="Telperion, post: 1688069, member: 15711"] Yes, well maybe what I said was a bit extreme. For the most part I get along just fine with everyone I game with. The reason why I brought up the figure 90% is because that's how it is at the moment. However that'll change in about a month when I start playing in a Sabbat Chronicle. I know all of the players in the group and am close friends with most of them. But aside from that this really is just an opinion. Everyone's got one and mine is that a high level of personal attachment between DM - Players and Players - Players isn't as good as playing with people you don't really know. As an example: I'm running political back-stabbing campaign that permits everything aside from directly killing (you can hire assassins) another player. I don't want to cause any break-ups or destroy relationships with my games. Playing with people you are willing to hate, love or not really care about is a good thing in this sort of a game. Aside from the practice sessions that I use to recruit new players I only run hardcore campaigns, which to me means that no single game will finnish inside two years without a TPK or the players leaving the game for one reason or another (the latter has never happened while the former has happened a couple of times). This means that if you stick with me you [I]will[/I] get to know the others players. How well you want to get to know them is totally up to you, but at the same time no one is forcing you to be everyone's best friend. It's game and we are all there to enjoy it. Whether or not we form other relationships as a side-effect is of secondary importance to me. [/QUOTE]
