Small Rant on Seal Rolls in Hamlet parties

[Raikki]

Thank you, Reika. And that is really my point in all this. If this had just been disclosed up front, I still wouldn't have been ok with it, but I would have bowed out so they could replace me with someone who was.

But, to be clear, this wasn't the whole rest of the party conspiring against me and the other guy, at least not to my knowledge. This was just two players trying to game the drops on their own. Unfortunately they were successful and I was blind to what was going on until it was too late. My fault for being naive, i guess.

But I know now not to group with either of these people or invite them to my groups anymore. I'll also be cautious about grouping with anyone from their shells from now on, which is a shame.

I'm just shaking my head in disbelief at this point, but if that's what makes you happy you're more than welcome to play the game like that. I'm just trying to warn you that your idea of loot morality is out of the norm here and you're only going to make life harder for yourself if you let things like this impact you so much.

I'll leave you with an analogy:

8 people sit down at a table and are asked to select whether they'd like cake or pie. 4 people pick cake, and the other 4 people pick pie. After they're served, one person gives their slice of cake to their friend. Outraged, Wynn, who also selected cake, complains "that's not fair, he should have to cut his slice of cake into thirds and give us each an equal portion of it!"
