Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cincinnatus" data-source="post: 4870276" data-attributes="member: 45068">I'm really surprised and honestly a bit baffled by the large laundry lists of "no-goes" that some people are posting here. It seems like some gamers have an awful lot of hang-ups, both in-game and out-of-game, that are so significant that they are dealbreakers (as in, these people will walk out of a game because of them). I guess I cannot identify with such a stringent mentality.A serious question to those posters with long lists of no-goes:Are you just lucky enough to have found your "perfect" game where none of your "no-goes" happen? If so, you're very lucky; hats off to you. If not, I imagine that you're walking out of a lot of games.If not, do you just not game? That seems like a more likely scenario. Nearly every group I've ever played in has had at least some degree of min/maxers, smokers, drinkers, cell phone users, TV watchers, rule lawyers, crudity, racist/homophobic remarks, "jerks", bad DMs, PvP conflict, evil characters, heavy roleplayers, even people talking in strange accents. I've never just got up and left even one of them in the middle of a game. Perhaps I am more tolerant than some.Are you just lucky enough to live in large cities with huge gamer populations? Are these cities large enough to the point where if someone broke one of your "no-goes," you could just walk right out and easily find another, more compatible group? I have a hard time believing this, as many people on the boards complain about lack of gamers in their respective areas. I live in a pretty big city (almost 2 million metro population), and I am damn sure that if I decided to just leave one or both of my two gaming groups, I would have a decently hard time finding another one, let alone a better one.</blockquote>
