[QUOTE="Harmon, post: 3232967, member: 24357"] In general- I would not play with a group that regularly had back stabbing going on, and any Player that tried to do it more then once I would not allow back (or I would out myself if it was not in my power to out the offender). Now if the campaign is set up the way you speak of (back stabbing all around and regularly) then that is a different story. However (as a GM) if I work on a campaign for days and perhaps weeks only to have the PCs turning on one another with no regard for all the work I had done- it would be the last campaign I GMed for, for that group (it shows a complete lack of respect for all my laboring that the Player would ignore the campaign and just slaughter each other for the heck of it). If the group is happy and okay with it- then okay, go forth and have at, but for me- it ante fun, it isn’t interesting, and it does show a lot of disrespect for those not in on the “game”. [I]“Why the hell did you just kill my character?!?! It took my a long dammed time to make it.” “Cause it was fun!”[/I] For whom? You. Regarding your feelings that I might see the ‘inner you’ as you back stabbing your friends/fellow players characters, to me it does say something of your personality, however that goes back to the first paragraph (if its what the campaign is about). Our group tends heavily towards heroes, and towards helping those that cannot help themselves. I don’t think any of them would be back if I played a character that during his watch just slaughtered the whole group, took their stuff, and I know the GM would refuse to GM for the character ever again (I know I would)- that being said, why do the backstabbing- you are never playing the character again. I rather hope you do not take offense, as I do not know the real you, but to me it means something. :\ [/QUOTE]
