[QUOTE="Chimera, post: 1688665, member: 2002"] Guess I'm used to giving people more than one chance. Gamed(worked/been around) with a lot of people who rubbed me the wrong way the first time we met, but who "got better" in the next encounters. Everyone can have an off day. Almost quit my CoC group two (plus) years ago because of one guy, who was deliberately a jerk to me. Talked to the GM and said that I would rather not return. GM talked me into coming back, talked to the other guy. This group broke up last fall. Guess who is the only member of that group I still (occasionally) communicate with? Yeah, that's right. The "jerk". Another group, another guy I didn't like at first meet. By the time I quit that group almost a year later, he was the one I liked the most, the only one I had done things outside the game with. Couldn't stand one member of my current gaming group after the first full session of play. But he's growing on me. I'm learning to deal with him. I have a better understanding of where he's coming from and I've learned to ignore the 10,000th repetition of the same unfunny joke. Oh yeah, plenty of examples on the other extreme. But here are three examples of people I would probably not have wanted to game with if I was the type to drop people over first impressions. [/QUOTE]
