Under the pressure of running a public game at a convention, I'm not always going to be able to promptly rewrite the scenario. Many times sure. And if the X card is raised over some other player's behavior, then great, I can do something about that. But a convention is probably the time you should least expect a GM to reasonably be able to accommodate every request, simply because of the constraints of time and the need to be fair to all the other players from whom you are also asking accommodation.And in any event, the X card does not handle the problem of a jerk GM that is refusing to follow convention guidelines such as inserting content that explicitly against convention guidelines. Nor does it handle the problem of having inserted content which in the opinion of one or more players more distasteful than should be expected from the games advertised rating. In short, it just doesn't solve a lot of problems for me.  The only thing it solves is a player that for some reason can't verbally communicate but can touch the card, and that if and only if the player is then able with some coaching to verbalize exactly what (though not why) caused the card to be touched.</blockquote>
