[QUOTE="freebfrost, post: 2737861, member: 3713"] I don't mind abiding by the rules of my workplace. Of course, they reimburse me for my time. It bears repeating, since you are trying to support this by saying it is like work, but deflecting the connection by stating "D&D is not a job." If you believe that, then why are you arguing at all that is it like work? Work ≠ Gaming. And all are businesses run by the government or by private citizens. Do you have a similar set of rules for when you (choose one) watch the game with your buds/play monopoly/go bowling/play a pickup game of basketball/etc.? (And I'm not talking about the rules of the game, but a set of rules on how to behave.) Does the restaurant tell you not to talk too loudly, or to keep your elbows off of the table, or to not throw your cup across the room? Of course not - unless you need to be reminded on how to play nice, like a child or someone drunk and disorderly. That is the level at which these rules operate. It is for misbehaving children, not adults. [/QUOTE]
