"As I read through these posts I cannot but wonder why 80% of the player base is still here.
Have you read your own commentaries? Because let me address what I find a most interesting thing.
It occurs to me that no matter what a DM does, certain players seem to disagree, yet for some miracle they stay.
Now this is what I see when reading every….single....comment of bitching and occasionally, a DM saying something to point out what apparently isn't obvious enough for everyone to understand."
"This so called "Favouritism"? Doesn't exist anywhere but in the mind. I wonder how many players would do a better job at DMing. As far as I can read, everyone seems to know better. (except the occasional sensible player.) Ladies and gentlemen, Dm's and players. Your comments seem endless backward and forward. Let's start considering what we find adding to the conversation of 'the practice of giving preferential treatment to a person or persons."
"This, gents, doesn't happen. Example. Amilia Corvinus, didn't do anything interesting except being sly. -No DM attention (this is an extreme example.)"
"Lorannia Shadowlady, paladin of Tyr. Was quite talkative to people in suggestive manners to change ways things went. (that she never succeeded is a different story all together.) I was with the sheriffs. Bingo suddenly in the middle of a DM event."
"Four weeks later, AGAIN. I never tasted a DM quest before and, might I add, It was enjoyable. Next character. No DM love."
"The point, this supports the claim of looking at characters, not players."
"Thank you for having the patience to read this ladies and gents,"

"P.S. Azazel, Starting something new is like a clean slate, new stories unfold. A "new generation" as some have said will start at V5. Certainly I can remake Amilia but fifty years older and simply have her take a harsher but more patient attitude....But where is the fun in that?"
