[QUOTE="Roger_the_jolly, post: 4381967, member: 68157"] My answer is two fold - when the case is with a friend and when the case is with someone whom I know only casually. When we are talking about friends, as is the case with the main group I play with, I prefer talking with the player. The reasoning is this: we are all adults with many pressures on our lives and all of us come to the game wanting to have fun. If one of us have an idea of what is fun that is destroying the fun of all or many of the rest of us then that person needs to tune it down if he wants to continue playing with us. many times the behavior is happening because of an increase in pressure on that person in some other place in his life. So far, Talking has helped solve \ tune down the problems that rose in my main group. When we are talking about a situation not involving a friend, I still try to talk and explain first, but if I see it is not leading anywhere, I just quit and save myself the aggrevation. [/QUOTE]
