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

Sep 21, 2010 16:35

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 ( Read more... )

tabletop games are the most horrid thing in the world

Wait! What?

Is this one of those things were "my personal experience" equals "irrefutable data"?

shadow_otm September 21 2010, 20:55:24 UTC

Yeah, guy in another post told me that all tabletop players were bad. I rofled.

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.

A-fucking-men! The admins make the rules the way they are for a particular game for a reason, and if you don't like it, GTFO.

What I get from people making complaints against a good chunk of rules in a game is "Obviously, this isn't what you were looking for. I hope you find it, but I had a specific vision that does not coincide with yours. Good day."

Give to, not get from. Sorry, haven't acquainted myself with edits yet.

Had a conversation about that on my board's cbox just today. It's fine if you disagree with a game's rules. It's not okay if you disagree with the rules, join anyway, and then proceed to bitch about said rules. It's like some people go out of their way to find something to complain about.

OH GOD THIS.

I hate when johnny-come-latelys to a game try to jam their own ideas of what the rules should be down everybody else's throats. Especially when it diverges so drastically from what the game's gods intended.
