Message: <blockquote data-quote="Pielorinho" data-source="post: 671545" data-attributes="member: 259">I don't know that you're a bad playerI know that in your OP, you described two behaviors that peeve me in my game.  If these are really the exceptions, then maybe I wrote too quickly when I said we'd not get along as gamers, and for that, I apologize.And to some degree, I'm projecting.  I've got a good group now, but in the past, I had really bad experiences with folks who would often cancel the game at the very last minute, for reasons that I didn't think were very good.  (If you want to cancel because you're having a really busy week at school, fine -- just give me a few days' advance notice so that I can plan around you.)  And I had a couple of players who wouldn't pay attention to my descriptions because they were goofing off, and during tense, fast-paced scenes, they'd want me to repeat all the details for them when it came to their turn.  Grrr. . . .  When you described doing these two things and passed them off as if they weren't any big deal, my first (and second and third) reaction was, "Yes they are a big deal!"I'm glad you apologized to him for reading during the game.  I personally think you should've apologized for flaking out on a session, since he said that was an issue for him.  I can't say why he's holding you to a different standard than other players; I still think you must have behaved differently in some way or else he wouldn't be treating you differently.  But I wasn't there.  Maybe he's just crazy.  Certainly from your description he sounds petty and vindictive:  although the behaviors you described would've annoyed me, I would've dealt with it by sending you an email asking you to give me more notice when you couldn't show up for a game, and to try to pay attention during the game.  I certainly wouldn't have punished your character for it in any sense.Best of luck in your new group.Daniel</blockquote>
