[quote=@Alfhedil] It takes a good bit of patience, understanding, and the restraint not to call someone a stupid fucking tosser for trying to finagle something in they shouldn't. More than any of that though, a good GM knows there's always more to learn and that no one is perfect, so you've got that going for you lol. I've seen some awful GMs in my time here on RPG and a few other sites, ones that used their own RP as an excuse to powerplay against the players and steal material just to make their own nations better. [/quote] I am an extremely impatient and far from understanding person. I believe I once called someone something akin to a 'fucking dickwaffle' for mildly increasing their power without permission, though that wasn't in this RP :lol However, I would never use my GMing as a way to get away with anything that I wouldn't let a player get away with, and if players say that I am OP or abusing my power, I take it very seriously and listen to them. So, I guess I'm... an okay GM? I can live with that xD [quote=@TheSovereignGrave] ...No problem? I mean, I don't think I've done much since as far as I can remember there hasn't been any issues with Ch'ak. :lol But hey! [/quote] Nah, you've been pretty smooth-sailing, as the Ch'ak are a fairly simple race: just build giant things. Out of curiosity, what would the Ch'ak think of the current drama stirring? You know, Xim vs. Human/Commonwealth, while the Coalition is close to falling into anarchy and everyone is all jumpy xD
