[QUOTE="Aldarc, post: 9015526, member: 5142"] (1) You are free to ask me questions without fully-loading your questions, unlocking the safety, and pointing them at my face. (2) I would say that it's less about expressing a negative opinion about things other people like and more about how you choose to do it. I don't think that people have questioned whether the GM isn't the primary rules arbiter or facilitator for running the game. It's more about what we mean by "the GM's game functionally." And I think that your statement risks equivocating between those different understandings that have cropped up in this thread. Considering your abrasive language here, I'm curious what kind of game you think I'm espousing, Micah, because I'm genuinely worried that you are dangerously close to an argumentative strawman concerning views I have expressed in this thread. My contributions in this thread have been fairly limited to discussing the vagueries around Rule 0 and about how gaming groups I've played in viewed games as the group's game rather than the GM's game.
