[QUOTE="Gizzard, post: 676358, member: 527"] OK, but in DC's case it turned out to be a big deal. (Or at least the DM used it as a pretext for making a big deal.) Theres not much sense in arguing that its not a big deal to you (and equally, there is not much sense in the other side arguing that it [I]always[/I] is a big deal!) since the original subject was whether DC got the shaft or not. And getting back to DC's case, there is always [I]some[/I] sort of implied social contract. It may not have been a fair one, it may have run something along the lines of, "You can keep playing, but remember that I am pissed about some out-of-game stuff and I will give you Da Boot if you give me half a reason." Fair or not, DC gave the DM that half reason he had been looking for and bad stuff ensued. On the plus side, probably everyone is better out of each others hair for a while. [/QUOTE]
