[QUOTE="ClaytonCross, post: 8083639, member: 6880599"] I don't think we take it all that seriously but we are in Okinawa Japan, the pool of players is small and rotates out frequently. Poeple are often home sick and some are young, still in there 20s. We created these measures because old friends and old players tend to have thicker skins, but new and younger players need some room to shine and feel important to the group feeding the "someone cares" about part of their brain they don't get from home any more. If we don't mind that some people get "butt hurt". Don't get me wronge most of us are former or active marines we can all take a punch in the face and insults all day long, but part of the reason our games are important out hear is the lack of family support and feeling of isolation. Players that don't feel like they contribute often still fill isolated or left out meaning they aren't getting since of community or able to relax and enjoy the game like they need and we want. I have been here for 17 Years so I am bit more resilient and flexible to this than most, but I have seen it enough to know that is important to a lot of players and their sanity. Seriosuly for those who have never left the states a monthly D&D game can help them stay sane. [/QUOTE]
