I am in no way arguing against serious play I'm just keeping a open and wide view of things. Too many blanket statements were thrown around, I think that everybody agrees that D&D is played by a wide variety of people. It just seemed that there was a lot of personal problems to what is minor offenses (skimming a book once is a minor offense even in the most serious game it was only done once and it was apologized for. Missing a game once is a minor offense too heck it should be expected, if he missed regularly I would of not opened my mouth, but it only happened once and he even called ahead to cancel, that is a minor offense.) I view killing a character off while the player wasn't there a pretty serious offense by a DM and kicking somebody out is a major move to make, I know other people have had problems with other players before but I didn't see where you could place other bad players guilt into this situation, The worst thing you can apply to the actions of the PC was "gee why did you keep playing as long as you did?" I feel there is something we are missing here, but we won't get the DM's side to the story, I figure that he had a grudge for some reason, the only other reason I can think of for this is that he is a grade A jerk. I would never side with the DM regardless of what his side turned out to be due to the fact that he chose to solve his problems by abusing the power of a DM rather than talking about it, heck I would have more sympathy for the DM if he had asked to take it ouside and fight it out. I don't think it can be stated enough "people have to communicate with each other" this goes for outside of D&D too, but man how can you play D&D at all if you can't communicate with each other on any level beyond killing characters off.</p></blockquote><p></p>
