Get a clue and keep your mouth shut when you don't know what you are talking about. Every other person besides you got that it was a joke, or at least took it only as far as I meant it.Dropping bait for a flame war? Oh, please. If you think I was baiting you for a flame-war, you really need to buy off your "thin-skinned" flaw posthaste. Note the words "guy seemed to be crowing" are not the same as "guy was crowing."I've been playing and running text RPGs off and on for over fifteen years. I have seen plenty of killer-DMs in that time. The idea that one such killer-DM would post to a list devoted to a rather lethal RPG is not beyond the realm of possibility. I've heard the "rules" you posted being uttered and followed with absolute seriousness on more than one occasion.You say you ment them less than seriously. I accept that and withdraw any perceived accusation of killer-DM-hood. Fair enough?I need less players.. if you guarantee that this would do it for me, I should really purposefully kill them.Or you can split your group. Maybe have one bunch playing their characters one night while the other group runs your monsters. Or tell a few folks to "ride into the sunset." Just a couple of thoughts there.Wes "Sick'em Lisa" Anderson-----Original Message-----

but as a GM i dont have that attitude...hmm how many can i kill tonightIf you guys are having fun, cool.
i mean one guy cried in a game when his guy died
but it was his own fault and not my agenda
i asked him 3 times if he really wanted to go into the basement
alone...hehehe
and i even cued up the scary music on my laptop
and he went anyways...Not your fault. Suicide through stupidity isn't your problem.
so there is no cake walk
but i dont kill you for the horror of itNever said you did.
you are playing with the wrong people if that is what happens to you
and well that is no fun..i would be annoyed too
and you dont want to see me annoyed heheheThat's my point though - I don't play with those people. The guy I replied to seemed to be crowing about being a killer-DM. I was letting him know that such an attitude was an excellent way to make sure he'd soon be playing only with himself...
but some of the best "this one time at gaming camp" stories are the glorious
death ones...heheheCue story about a flute being inserted somewhere... interesting.
