[QUOTE="Waterbizkit, post: 6964089, member: 6802604"] Don't misunderstand, I can see why people will have the various pet peeves that they do, everyone has something that invariably will put a hair across their :):):). I just don't enjoy having to moderate it all, that's the hair across my :):):). Serious issues that arise need to be dealt with. If someone at my table was getting harassed, for example, the person at fault would literally be out the door so fast it'd make their head spin. Letting the little things get to you, at least in contrast, seems like something I'd rather do without. For a game, or hobby as a whole really, that pop culture likes to portray as the haven for socially awkward basement dwellers the truth is that this is a social experience. Being a social experience communication is key. At session zero, before each session, after each session. People need to learn to talk to one another and maybe clear the air a bit and I genuinely think we'd run into less of this little stuff. As I said though... all of that is my pet peeve. I sit down to this game to have fun. Sometimes that means serious roleplay of dramatic situations, sometime it means having Punny McPunderson the comic relief halfling bard break out yet another of his dirty limericks, or having just as much OoC conversation and IC roleplay... or some combination thereof. But if the group addresses this stuff like adults then hopefully everyone can have a good time. Anyway, like I said I wasn't popping in to dump all over everyone else's pet peeves just to rant about my own... ;) [/QUOTE]
