[QUOTE="Janx, post: 5694672, member: 8835"] I always wonder why some people choose to be so picky. Certainly there's things you just can't stand (I hate watermelon). But I will attend a watermelon eating event that my friend is having because all our friends are there. I'm not fond of chineese food, but I will eat it when the group wants to go, because the majority wants to go and I want to be with my group more than I want to eat pizza by myself. involuntarily using [MENTION=29434]Shaman[/MENTION] as an example (whom I do not personally know). He's expressed in threads that there are certain play styles that he won't play in and will politely excuse himself. I don't understand his position. The style he cites doesn't sound horrible or extreme. But he doesn't like it and won't play it. I don't think I like sandboxes, but if a friend was GMing one, I'd try it and try to fit in because that's what the group is doing. to the OP's example, I suspect Shaman would politely excuse himself and really wouldn't have a problem over "style" differences. I'd probably try to fit into the style, assuming the group is my friends. One last though to ponder: If you think she's cheating on you, she probably is Corollary: if you always think she's cheating on you, you're probably a paranoid, jealous, controlling bastard. The lesson: if you only have this issue once, where you think this one player you let go is mad, it's probably him, and you're probably right. If you have this feeling EVERY time you let somebody go, then you're either imagining it, or you're doing dismissals badly (and they are all mad at you because you are the meany who thinks he's nice).
