My players know me, so they know I only say that when there's something they're doing that might not make sense given the situation. At that point, I let them ask a couple of questions to clarify things, but if that's what they want to do, them's the breaks.I think that out of character, you might want to have a discussion as people (friends?) about what some of the expectations for the game are: is everyone we meet a threat? Are all things the way they appear on the surface? Will you hold back with a combat if the players have made bad choices? More likely than not, this is a problem that's really a personality/ game expectations sort of thing than anything else, and one that can be quickly sorted out.But I think any advice to majorly change how you run your game is pretty off-base, and just shows how the expectations for what makes a good game session vary widely.</blockquote>
