[QUOTE="Kichwas, post: 38695, member: 891"] I've found that whenever I recruit players from outside my social circle it's a near given that I will get one or two who just don't match the group no matter how hard I try to screen. So you have to be willing to weed people out. You can just say there's a style conflict and leave it at that. Another thing I notice is the ages. People at 22 are still mostly teenagers. They're in a different world than people at 26. More than likely there's a difference of having a profession, possibly a family, and all kinds of responsibilities that a kid of 22 still thinks is just something 'foolish' their parents got stuck with that they can avoid... :D It can be hard to socialize across that boundry. Once you've "joined the real world" as they say you lose touch with the values of the people not yet there. Though in this case both parties are right on the edges of the gap. There's still a gap. The average 22 year old has more in common with a 15 year old than with the average 26 year old. [/QUOTE]
