[QUOTE="architectofsleep, post: 4643028, member: 80396"] There aren't too many players and GMs out by me. I understand that a GM has certain rules, and if they're upfront about it, it's a lot easier. I was taken completely by surprise with the whole "silly names" thing because it never came up until recently. And honestly, with the tone of our sessions, where we spend more time b.s.ing than we do playing, I never thought it would be a problem, especially with such mild goofiness as I was offering. I do think it's not necessarily the right tactic to say "it's my way or the highway." I'm sure it works for you, but I personally prefer to work with other people to find compromises, to make sure everyone is having fun, and to not burn bridges. To that end, I tend to pick my battles, and it always surprises me when other people don't, and when they take stands on things that are really, in the grand scheme of things, not that important. Which is why I'm not walking on the game over this. It's going to take quite a bit more. But my frustration was building up enough for me to rant about it (and hopefully get it out of my system). :) [/QUOTE]
