[QUOTE="cougent, post: 4488739, member: 48665"] :lol: The first 8 posts of this thread all brought memory flashbacks of something my group has done in the past, because yes all groups do suffer this disease and almost all suffer it in the same way at some point in time. My group routinely told me that I was trying to kill them... so finally I just agreed with them. So the time that they came across a giant stone door, barred and locked, they just had to open it. In their efforts to open it, they removed the hinges (visible on their side) and then decided to "push" the door open. [some of you may already see the flaw here] The door became unstable and fell... on them! [because yes it opens towards them, not the other way] This was treated as yet another one of *MY* DM tricks to kill them, and it did crush one of them, not as the player stupidity it really was. That is just par for the course though, put on your DM Dragon Skin coat and just wade into the fray. Actually embrace the evil DM role and proclaim it to them, make them fear you, confirm their worst nightmares, teach them what REAL paranoia is all about, MUWAHAHAHAHA! Because that is far easier than getting them to admit it is their own mistakes that usually gets them killed. ;) [/QUOTE]
