If you don't like the sandbox, don't get into it

The people running a game get to decide how it's run. Not people outside. Not people trying to join. Not people that have left the game. The people running the game get to decide the rules. If you don't like their rules you can go find another sandbox. If you're so great and awesome with an all knowing OPINION, then make your own damn sandbox

I love this. I get bitched at periodically that "people don't like how you run your game". I ask who are these people. I'm told people who left.

THEN WHAT DO I CARE?

I don't.

This, except replace "left" with "got kicked out for crazy rule breaking shit."

I care about who plays on my game now. I have a small Heroes RP with about 15 solid players. Why should I care about the people who didn't like how I run things? If they have better ideas, then they can start their own games. Where I won't be playing.

I have had people in rp arguments tell me "everyone agrees with me" then can never seem to name any of these people that agree with them... or if they can it's they're close close buddies or people not even in the game.

Jo Walton said it best, I think.

Ahhhhh weasel arguments! My ex-Mother-in-Law used them all the time.

“You can’t dress like that! What will people say!?”
“Don’t say that! What will people think of you?”
“I don’t think most people will agree with that.”

One day I just snapped and yelled at her “WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE!?!?”
