[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 6099834, member: 22779"] Exactly. I know you took that to be ironic, but it wasn't. Skipping a scene that almost everyone enjoys to go to a scene that everyone enjoys is not a bad thing, IMO. I'd much rather everyone at the table was having fun than most of everyone. And, if I know that some of the players are not having fun, and yet, I figure that just because I like what's going on, it's okay, then I would consider my fun more important than yours. But, again, compromise seems to mean, "Do whatever the DM wants you to do and shut up!" Like I said, I would not have fun at a table where I knew the guy sitting beside me wasn't enjoying the game. Wouldn't matter to me if I was or not. The fact that he isn't would mean that I wouldn't either. Apparently though, it's perfectly okay for me to be totally selfish and put my fun ahead of anyone else's. After all, if I'm enjoying the scene and no one else is, should we skip it? Simple majority rules? No thanks. I game by consensus thanks. And, just to repeat, if I know that someone at the table isn't enjoying what we're doing, then I won't enjoy the game either. So, no, I don't put my fun ahead of anyone else's. [/QUOTE]
