[QUOTE="Patrick-S&S, post: 216501, member: 4633"] Well since I am gaming with the same group as I have the past thirteen years we all have come to know what to expect of each other (except for the dude who was killed by the zombies in [URL=http://test.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=14154]this thread[/URL]). There are some ideas you can use that we have found invaluable (and I am not talking about acting and such for that craves experience and "talent"). Always use a leader.
