[QUOTE="ragnar99, post: 2891364, member: 28809"] Hey guys, Well I am another player in Elephant's game and I thought I'd give my perspective. The player is in his mid-30's by the way. I tried to do a little calming down of everyone and got this e-mail from the player. I might help to get a sense of what his opinion is. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- xxxxx, My perception of (Elephant) is that his enjoyment stems from his control. I don't need him to open things up, I just need some dialog and flexibility. If I say I'd like bring in a new character, and announce this ahead of time (which I did in an email to everyone), I don't need a control freak saying I can't because it interferes with his overarching storyline or his fear of losing control. It's WOTC, it's playtested, get over it. I don't need him jumping down my throat for interfering with his master plan because I didn't want to play a castrated kobold.....which if I had, our dwarf would have been dead BTW. Just my 2 cents. Later bro, xxx -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well the oddest thing for me is that he starts this whole thing, and then basically says we disagree I'm not talking about it. And for what its worth he basically got the PC the GM made ,said I'm not playing this you guys can do whatever, and left. I'm afraid the other players kind of pressured him into making peace with the player. Mostly just so we could get gaming. Anyway let me know about any changes you make in the group man. Right now I definately will consider anything. [/QUOTE]
