I don't hate the players, but I'm damn sure I hate the game.

Quote from: Dave R;999983In some fairness to your players, you advertised FFG Star Wars, they signed up for FFG Star Wars, there's no particular reason to expect them to switch to something else. In fact I've had some of the best games of my life after I got over "group first, agree on a game second" and started recruiting each time for specific games.

But there's also no reason to keep running this. In a perfect world you'd do what the man said upthread and run one or two closing sessions, but it sounds like maybe you've waited for your fed-upedness to outweigh your politeness, instead of having the difficult conversation right away.

i had the precopnversation then took two weekso ff fof a cacation and then came back and tried to tak to them. my feeling skep gtting mrr negative anf then the last session hammpend.

I would never a run a game that I didn't like. It will never work.

Your options are simple: find people that want to play what you want to run. Or take the bold move in trying to convert your FFGSW players into playing what you're offering. Sure it's unreasonable. But this is RPG's - it's a game. Either they'll come or they won't. No point in engaging in something that will make you unhappy.

Quote from: Headless;999908Talk to your wife. She knows what going on.

You clearly already know what to do? Thats why you asked us, becuase you knew what we would tell you. But you don't want to do it for some reason. I don't know ypu so I don't know the reason. But your wife might.

Quote from: Gronan of Simmerya;999880This has officially gone into the realm of bad gaming, at least for you. Further, it seems from your account that they don't give a shit that you aren't having fun.

Not gaming is better than bad gaming. Pull the plug.

If you want to be generous, say you will run until the end of October. Me, I'd say "Sorry, folks, I'm done." You had the talk, the result was "we don't care about your fun, we want our MTV," and I say "fuck that shit."

Yeah, those two, in that order:).

Also, I always have a mental disconnect when a Referee posts on a forum "I can't change the system 'cause my players wouldn't agree". I know it happens, but around here, when you run, you decide what system and setting to use;)!

Whenever someone says they're drunk online and then make a bunch of writing errors, I think they're faking it. Autocorrect doesn't disappear when you are drunk. And I don't know what part of being drunk actually makes you spell poorly or be unable to check your spelling before posting. I mean sure, being drunk can lead to some typos, but an entire post full of errors? No.

I've posted drunk and was shocked at the typos after. But yeah, it is hard to know if it is legit. Just like everthing on the net.

To what end? Why would any one do that?

Some of us dont have autocorrect. (so I usually go back and fix any typos I might notice later.)

Why does anyone do anything fucked up on (or off) the net. Because.

That said. I've RPed with at least one professional published author who for some god unknown reason can barely form coherent words, (or sentences) online. I used to game online with an artist who was not quite that bad but I ended up skill grinding "Read Gibberese" with people like that.

I have no idea. Some people think being drunk is edgy.

I think its frlar more likely he was having a shitty week, got blind stumbling drunk and mashed some keys ranting at a forum. Which is far better than getting in fights or wrapping his car around a tree.

It doesn't cost me anything to assume first that the people posting on this forum are real people with human emotions instead of griefers, trolls, and selfspawning inanimate forum constructs laying 'traps' for me.

Hell, some of those posts were easier to read than the average Headless post.

Sadly yes. If only there was some technology available that would help eliminate spelling errors.

You guys get the post after the spell checker is done. There are major improvements before ypu even see it.
