[QUOTE="DonTadow, post: 2737909, member: 22622"] YOu're close to figuring out my point. My point is not dungeons and dragons is a job. Iit's that dungeons and dragons, like everything in life, has rules that have little to do with how the act is performed. Some of what I described are non profit organizations and even in some cases private clubs. They all have rules. Again, my point is that everything has rules and those rules are to keep order. When i have friends over to watch he game... yeah there are rules, they aren't to go into my room, they aren't to set drinks on the floor, they are to use the guess bathroom and there's a big sign on the game that says wash your hands before and after leaving the bathroom. When i play monpooly (which i play professionally) at my house I have a list of house rules i have. i also go over the guest rules for my house. If i'm hooping there are rules for new people. There's no going in my house without my permission, no parking in my driveway, no going into the guest bed rooms or mine. As someone previously said its alwways best to be thorough with what you like and don't like than to not say anything and be super offended because someone didn't know . If hyou're in a really nice resataurant (and i consider my game an upscale game, not your nomral pick up game) then walking in without a suit coat will get you thrown out, talking loudly will have a waiter come over to you and ask you to be quiet, if you have children and they are whining you can be asked to leave. There's a misconeetpion that when you become an adult you automatically follow all of the rules and that is not true with any of us. II can't understand why so many of us is so senstive when someone isimply has rules for them to follow. [/QUOTE]
