[QUOTE="BlackSilver, post: 2071443, member: 22250"] The version of friendship that I am trying to explain is nothing like you might think, it is something built on a mutual respect, consideration, and compassion. If you have not had such a relationship, even with your own mother then I am sorry. :( Please do not confuse what I am trying to say with what I wish to convey- I would simply like to understand why no one is interested in discovering why Aerodm’s player has changed and just wish to “give him the boot.” A lot of people use gaming as an escape, to leave their lives behind and arrive somewhere, in some place where they can defeat the undefeatable and where they can change the world. This allows them to step away from their real world pain, but the pain is not always left behind, and when it is not left behind then gaming can be affected. It is not intentional at this point, it is just a matter of fact in human psychology. :\ It is only a suggestion that I give now- when a Player or GM seems a little off in the game, when they seem distracted and not themselves, find out why, offer a shoulder, or a few kind words. Pushing them away from what they may need (a good time about the gaming table) might be to much for them and you could lose them as a friend when it was simply a lack of communication. [/QUOTE]
