[QUOTE="NN, post: 4597217, member: 4770"] "Station Squatting is the act of a player or group of players to ignore plot threads and instead focus their time on frivolous activities." With this definition, there will be bickering for ever, because "ignore plot threads" and "frivolous" are subjective.... i can only advise DMs: be honest about the metagame assumptions will be. - If youve got a railroad, dont hide the tracks ! - If youve got a sandbox, dont expect a 'story' ! Players: once you agree to the campaign, give it a fair chance. - If you agree to train travel, dont complain youre not driving! - If you agree to a sandbox, then play ! Both: communicate! - Say you want to get off, rather than sabotaging the train! - Say you want to see more toys in the sandbox! Everyone: take it in turns to DM! [/QUOTE]
