Message: <blockquote data-quote="freebfrost" data-source="post: 2739523" data-attributes="member: 3713">Poker has rules, but do you sit down and hand your friends a list of "behavior" rules when you play some texas hold-em?  This is a non sequitur.And what is the public reaction to those?  As I mentioned above, a theatre chain near me starting handing out a rules card for every show.  I, as well as a large number of work associates, friends, and acquaintances now refuse to see movies there on the same principle.How about an example then?If you are going to continue to post in this thread then, I'd like you to observe the following:1)  Do not use slang, poor grammar, or bad punctuation.2)  Do not submit unacceptable language.OK, so far, right?3)  Do not reply unless you quote just the specific part you are replying to in your post.4)  Do not use acroynms or broken constructions.Still reasonable, and typically followed by most posters without being told.5)  Do not respond unless you first approve the post with me and the others who feel the way I do prior to posting.6)  Do not respond if your response is more than 10 minutes after mine. Reasonable still?  Like no breaks or being "voted" off?   Or is it getting a bit intrusive?Interesting how I seemingly have this unending stream of luck that I wish I could focus to win that lottery!The group I play in I only met about 2 years ago, through EnWorld, and only met them online before sitting in on a game.  Didn't know anyone, and they are a phenomenal group.  I do consider them friends - now, but not initially.  We recently lost a member to academia, and found a new member after a short meeting with our DM and another player - he's great.  However, we also had another player who was a friend of one of the group, but he was disruptive and was not invited back.  So friendship does not a good game necessarily make.I find it hard to believe that you cannot find suitable players without a lock-step list of rules.</blockquote>
