[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 9826968, member: 93670"] Enough with the distractions NOBODY is making the points of distraction they you keep littering the discussion with In case that's not obvious, the bolded bit is pretty obviously talking about players saying "I don't want to play under those limits". WHO are you attributing these endless defensive distractions in order to shield the idea that players should be able to agree to play then feel justified in refusing to make any effort to fit their character to the setting/campaign lore themes and tropes? If you aren't willing to point out who is making the argument that a player can't walk, maybe focus on things actually being said that you are shielding. In just the last few hours there is literally a poster who said they would join a game they have no intention of making their character fit and when told word for word "[I]Perhaps you should take responsibility for your own preference and [B]tell the gm of that hypothetical Arctic based campaign you yourself introduced that you aren't willing to play an Arctic based campaign rather than agree to play[/B] and proceed to show no willingness in making your character fit the setting?"[/I] They responded how they would play but had no interest in fitting their character to it like they are [URL='https://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2009/04/20/for-the-vin']Vin Diesel playing for Gabe[/URL] or something. If a person does not agree to join a game, they are not a player in that game. Once they agree, they are a player in it and being a player in a game comes with responsibilities as long as they remain a player. I can't even respond to most of your points because so many of them are rooted in attributing points to people in this thread when nobody is making them. [/QUOTE]
