[QUOTE="SableWyvern, post: 9654902, member: 1008"] I don't play in that zone and thus I don't do [I]anything[/I] in "that limbo" because I'm not there. I don't experience trust issues in my group. I don't worry that my players might be losing trust in me. In the hypothetical instance I did feel that way, I would probably say something like, "Hey, guys, are you losing trust in me?" and then listen to their answers, but I've never needed to. I have no real idea what you're asking here. If you mean what options do you have when there is less than sufficient trust, I don't know. I would not join (or remain with) a group where there was insufficient trust. Your participation in [I]what[/I]? Who are you meekly submitting to? You tell me that I'm making this personal, but you're asking me what choice [B]you[/B] have to fix a problem only [B]you[/B] can see or blowing up [B]your[/B] participation? [B]You[/B] can do whatever [B]you[/B] want. Speaking for myself, if I had lost trust in my group, it would indicate some crisis of friendship bigger than roleplaying. How I would deal with it would depend on how and why trust was gone, and it wouldn't be over whether or not an imaginary guard was bribeable, I know that for sure, it would have to be some real-world issue. I do not know which DM or players you're referring to, or how to answer you from any perspective other than from the perspective of the games and tables I'm actually familiar with, which are mine. I have never needed to rebuild broken trust in my group. I have never needed strategies for doing so. I have absolutely no idea why you think I have anything useful to tell you about these things. This whole question doesn't make any sense to me unless the group is full of drama and angst, and I would not participate in such a group. I deal with the members of my group with respect, as friends. That's the start and the end of it. There is nothing more to it. [/QUOTE]
