[QUOTE="Gnarlo, post: 1386224, member: 2995"] I'd agree it's a little long and a little too formal, but otherwise I think it's a very good thing to get all this out in the open up front; it certainly lets anyone know what to expect. As far as points people have raised: a) He's not hosting a New Year's Eve or Super Bowl party; this is presumably a group of people to be seen on a frequent, regular basis. A lot can be tolerated for one evening that won't fly week in and week out. b) It's totally appropriate to tell people whether or not they can show up stoned or drunk [i]to his house[/i]. No where in there does he tell them they can't drink, smoke, or shoot up on their free time, he just expects them to be straight when they show up at his place. Unfortunately, I've met a lot of gamers that you have to lay down the law up front like this to (although, stereotypes aside, not most). It's led to me basically only playing with people I get to know as people before I get to know them as gamers. But I do agree that it needs to be a little less formal, a little more "no smoking or showing up drunk, please, and you got to be ok with kids being around the house" instead of Article 6, Paragraph 3, Point 14/J :) [/QUOTE]
