[QUOTE="DonTadow, post: 2737320, member: 22622"] I'd take offense to calling it gradeschool. I love the wording. It is very professional. When you go to a job, theres an employee manual. Yeah I know, d and d is not a job. Ok lets look at other recreational activities that have rules. Ok, when you go to a park there are a list of rules. When you go to an arcade there are a list of rules when you go to a restaurant there are a list of rules (NO shoes , no shirt, no service). When you go to a hotel room, there are a ton of rules listed. When you go to an amusement park there are rules. These rules are no different other rules in any other social or friendly gathering. My thing is, if you have no intention on ever breaking them, then you don't have to worry about how they're worded or if they apply to you. I agree with you on all of them, even the food. My gf was very upset that her second time dm'n was rudely interupted when the new player all but forced the party (complaining about how diabetic he was and how badly he needed food)to stop for an hour so that he could order pizza and retrieve it. It was clearely stated that everyone bring food to the game as there would be no breaks because the sessions are only 4 hours. This isa good example in that hte person has a really good reason for the break, but rules are rules regardless and that's one rule there to make sure the game proceeds. I was not the only player whom was upset with this player. [/QUOTE]
