[QUOTE="swrushing, post: 2765496, member: 14140"] [/QUOTE] How is it a "hell dimension radiating eveil" if there is nothing there? is there just this one acces to this hell dimension that has never been used before? Who/what created an entire vacant dimension, infused it with evil nothingness and created one portal to only ever be used once? snip more of the "how my position is justified and how its "how stupid she was..." snip more of the same. Don... after the first or maybe the second net rant you decided to avail yourself of, this ceased to be about "see how stupid my players is and see how justified I am" really, that boat sailed a while back. if this is the third, fourth or seventh such incident, it has long since ceased to be about her errors but yours. If your presentation is proper and justified and she is just not getting it, IE "its not MY fault", then its your fault for still having her in your game knowing full well that no matter how good and skilled you are she will flub things up this badly. Weren't you paying attention to the earlier rants by that DonTadow feller? if on the other hand its your presentation in game thats at fault, even partially, then lambasting her in this forum and defending yourself is perhaps "poor form." if this is indeed the third (or even seventh as someone suggested) "drivien to rant on the net" level incident between you and this gal, then I am sorry to say it doesn't speak of "my idiot player" as much as it speaks of "a Gm who is at fault" regardless of whether that "fault" is "not dealing with the problem player I already know about" or "not dealing with my own Gming errors that keep provoking the problems." this is not meant to be an attack but hopefully a nudge to see this isn't about "her" anymore. Worrying about "her" or discussing "her" won't solve your problems anymore now than it did the previous X number of rants. to solve this issue, you have to deal with your choices and what you should do differently.
