[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7825008, member: 22779"] Y'know what? You're absolutely right. An X card in this situation would solve nothing. But, you're missing the obvious question - why not? Why wouldn't it help? Well, because the situation you outline has nothing to do with the X-Card or consent in gaming or the notion of bleed. the player wasn't unhappy because of some outside emotional issue bleeding into the game because of events in the game. No. He was unhappy with the game itself. No amount of consent is going to fix that problem. If you don't like the game, you don't like the game. But, again, and this is the key point the reason the player didn't like the game had nothing whatsoever to do with emotional bleed. So, of course an X-card or the notion of consent in gaming will help in this situation. It's entirely the wrong tool. The failure, as you rightly note, is that the player was not informed of the major elements of the game and sat there frustrated because he was fundamentally playing a different game than the rest of you. So, why would you apply the notion of emotional bleed and x-cards to this situation? [/QUOTE]
