[QUOTE="Bill Zebub, post: 8825353, member: 7031982"] Analogy time! (Because that always goes over so well.) Let's say you're a germaphobe and you hate shaking hands, and your friends know that. If whenever you see them you stick your hand out, hoping they will remember that you're a germaphobe, they will probably reflexively shake your hand. They are not doing anything wrong, so there's nobody to "blame" for this situation. But at the same time, this behavior really bothers you, so why don't you stop sticking your hand out? Nobody is accusing you of doing anything [I]wrong[/I], but clearly what you are doing is leading to something you don't like. So...stop? If what bothers you is certain player behavior that they would choose to do if it weren't for your stance on it, stop putting them in those situations. (And for chrissake, don't ask them to explain/justify their actions...knowing you hate 'metagaming' you're just asking them to lie.) [/QUOTE]
