[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 7656627, member: 67338"] except isn't that exactly what I said... now lets take the 'sit and grit your teeth" approach... do you think that someone that knows you well (a friend) might not notice you doing so? how about if you did it for 2 or 3 things? what if you noticed two of your friends doing it? how long before someone says something? heck it isn't being immature either to talk about likes and dislikes... and the difference between sulking and gritting your teeth is? and again we go to extremes, where I agree he can't "Demand" can he ask? lets use your example... something happens (what it is doesn't matter) then the PC wants to and had thought he had the ability to contact Green Lantern Corps... so at this point Player a "I use X and call the GL Corps" DM: "There is no such thing?" player gives dm weird look "What?!" not angy but confused. DM: "Not in my world" do you think any of the following is acceptable (assume they are friend and both being polite): 1) Player: "Why not?" 2) Player: "Um, since when?" 3) Player: "I really love GL and have been trying to get a way to contact them... would it hurt to change it?"
