>"here's a story about this totally unreasonable thing a player at my table/my GM did, as you can see by the context and the nature of the situation it was completely uncalled for and in no way justified on their part">"WOWWW you're such an asshole">"Clearly you were in the wrong, fag">"If you actually played games, you would know this never happens. Everyone is always perfect all the time at the table">"Actually it was entirely your fault and you should've done better"What makes /tg/ like this?
>why do people keep calling OP a faggotBecause OP keeps being a faggot.
>>98211264Because like 90% of those stories are fake or insane exaggerations of a reasonable situation where all reasonable motive is ignored.Like I have a story where a GM was incredibly unfair to a character of mine, and did shit like literally teleporting assassins ontop of him to shank him and then teleport away. Which sounds insane in isolation but with context, he was going to bring back a character of mine that just recently died and did it in a clumsy way by hard-targeting my character. Said temporary character also had a shitload of god rolls in character creation that meant he was effectively capable of anything ever better than anyone in the party. Which meant if he wasn't hard-focused he fucked up every encounter he was in.
>>98211264Cause they’re contrarians who know you get pissed if you get told they think you’re a liar or that you’re in the wrong instead.
>>98211264Take your pickA) The story is slanted a little too obviously and people pick up on the vague areas where specific details were glossed over. It's naturally assumed that when telling a story about themselves that they will cast themselves as faultless and that sets people off.B) Coming to /tg/, of all places, to seek validation and support is inherently faggy. This ain't reddit, so coming here begging for asspats and affirmations about how OP is actually a cool guy who did nothing wrong is going to set people off.C) Socially maladjusted autists who don't actually play RPGs have set up camp here and they respond to anyone having any sort of emotional reaction to anything that happens in a game as inherently cringey because they do not understand how anyone can engage in a social hobby and walk away having feelings of any kind about that activity. I've seen them try to argue that it's dumb and wrong to have any feelings about playing a game, even if the GM is doing intentionally unfair things to a player's character. These kinds of retards think of playing TTRPGs like playing a co-op video game, minus any social interaction, and cannot understand ascribing intent or malice to things that happened in the game.
>>98211563>as you can see by the context and the nature of the situation it was completely uncalled for and in no way justified on their partI think we are assuming no such hidden caveats or fine print details in OPs hypothetical.
>>98211264>vaguepost + whiningIdk go cry about on your discord server
>>98211657Except OP could easily be misreading such situations, or not seeing a one-sided story when it's presented to him.In these kinds of stories you can tell they're fake because for some reason an asocial sperg no one likes is at the table and they rarely if ever justify why.
This thread proves its own point lmfao thats meta as hell

>>98211989>>98211996You're going to upset a lot of nogames with this one.
>>98211264>I'm reasonable and the other party was completely unreasonable.We shrimply don't believe you.
>>982112644chan users have a tendency to disagree with a stated position regardless of what it isMy theory is that if you had a time machine that let you make the same post twice, one describing OP doing something unreasonable and one describing the same thing happening to OP, that you would get responses calling OP the one in the wrong both times
>>98211989>>98211996You already used that in another thread, dildo >>98207783
>>98211657>I think we are assuming no such hidden caveats or fine print details in OPs hypothetical.Why?
>>98211797I guess so, I'm just saying he mentioned that all the context was provided, so I'm going by that.>>98212090See above.
>>98212122Well funnily enough OP's post itself is an example of what I'm talking about.He's presenting a one-sided story with no context where people are unreasonable and there's no explanation for their actions.
>>98211264This board is 95% people who:Have never played a game...or...have been kicked out of every group they've been in...or...are banned from their LGS...or...are posting from its cash register...or...think MtG:Arena counts as /tg/...or...are only here to stir shit because they're bored of a worse board.You just gotta ignore the trolls my dude. Only one reply in 20 will be worth reading.
>>98211264>"here's a story about this totally unreasonable thing >a player at my table/my GM did, >as you can see by the context and the nature of the situation it was completely uncalled for and> in no way justified on their part"but to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIANBamMgas
>>98212218>are posting from its cash registerDon't call Me out like that. Sometimes there's really just nothing to do in the shop.I yearn for the day I can have another low-effort job that let Me get paid for posting.
>>98211264Armchair quarterback situation
>>98212122Im aware of the premise, im asking why we arent rejecting it
>>98212151Well, it's a hypothetical and he mentions that context is provided in it, although ironically the post itself doesn't relly give any. I think I've seen the sort of threads this is about though, sometimes those posts do have the necessary context and sometimes they don't. I'm assuming this is about those that do.>>98213619Well that'd just prove his point I think.
>>98211264Because you still have the emotional context of the event that /tg/ lacks.
>>98211264>as you can see by the context and the nature of the situation it was completely uncalled for and in no way justified on their partIf you've been alive and among people for like 10 years you should know by now that there's always 2 people involved in drama and the other side of the story usually sounds very different.If you're really upset that online strangers don't buy your anectode without question then I suggest thinking hard about what I just said.
>>98211264Yeah, what makes tg full of people like you that lie about what happens in your games?
>>98211563wow that sounds like an awful system
>>98211845Yeah, it proves the point that OP always lies.
>>98212067And both would be correct.
>>98214229The problem with the hypothetical is that it isn't representative of a situation that actually occurs 9 times out of 10. Most of the time OP grossly misrepresents the situation or leaves out details that get revealed over the course of the thread, which usually makes clear that OP was the fag all along. So to sum it up: skepticism due to a lack of good will. The premise is often rejected because what OP is proposing isn't reflective of reality and the fact he bothered making the thread is likely because he's a maladjusted tard who thinks he's the exception to the norm rather than a shining example of it.

>>98211264The nature of 4chan is that it is a place that is both very much on the "surface" internet, while simultaneously being very forgiving in the type of behaviour it allows. Its simultaneously permissive and easy to find.This means that in general the people who have been thrown off of most other sites for being needlessly belligerent gather here. There is no reputation, because there is no username. So there is no reason not to misbehave whenever you feel like it. The general vibe is also such that being combative, unnuanced or simply screaming into the void is normalized. Thats why. Faggot.
>>98215915Sounds like crab bucket mentality to me.
>>98215619It was WFRP 2eIt's quite fun, but has a randomized character creation as many systems often do. Unfortunately for that character I rolled near the max for every single stat and it just completely fucked the game up.I'm not really a fan of random character creation, I see a lot of GMs like it as a tool to avoid overly optimized characters, but in practice someone can just roll an overly optimized character worse than what a point-buy would give them. Or ofc roll complete dogshit and end up with a useless character.
>>98216320Because that's humans in general.
>>98218731I too thought like this back when I was 15
