[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 5826247, member: 9037"] I have seen this too and it always shocks me that the player act surprised when it bites them in the butt. What also shocks me is when they mouth off to people who they want to help them. I don't care if you think all men are created equal tell me in what world does mouthing off get you want you want. Try being rude to your boss and see if you get that raise. In one game we had asked for an audience with the king we were told that we couldn't bring weapons in. All our research and gather info had told us that the King was viewed as an honest man who cared deeply about his people. Some of the party refused to give up their weapons it was a disaster. They refused to let us in with weapons, we were not known and some of us were not even the same race. Then the barbarian raged and tried to force his way in. Which of course was met with resistance. The upshot was we had one dead barbarian and the some of the rest of the party on trail for trying to assassinate the King because they pulled weapons. The ones of us who had surrendered our weapons and didn't participate were arrested then escorted out of the kingdom with a death sentence on our heads if we ever came back. The thing that I found ludicrous was the angry emails directed at the DM for allowing this to happen. They actually felt that since we were PCs we should have been treated differently and the DM should have known that asking us to give up our weapons was a bad idea. The DM was like guys you knew this a head of time that strangers are not allowed an audience with weapons on them. Why did you think the guards were going to say it was different when you showed up. The answer was well we are the PCs we really didn't think you would make us. [/QUOTE]
