Yeah, I think I will. I just don't understand why people can't be fair and do what I want so I don't need to make rules ;) Making new rules is so annoying, there is always someone whining about them *grrrrr*
When I ran a D&D game many years back I made it very clear to the players that I was god. Anything I said was to be done. If you don't do as I say, I'll kill your character!.
They thought it was a joke until the day I killed half the party because people weren't listening.
It's that same thing about a boss that liked and a boss that's a hard ass (but not mean). Sometimes people think they can get away with murder when the boss is nice. But in other circumstances more work gets done with a hard-ass.
It doesn't matter whether the players like YOU. It's whether they like the game you present. If they like the game, they'll put up with a certain amount of hard-ass from you...
You see and that's where I think lies my problem: I don't want to be a "hard-ass", I WANT that players like me AND the game. I know it is stupid and I know it really is time to put my foot down but for me this well be really really hard.
