Things to think about before you call someone "Bad"

[Daibunnie]

I find it interesting that "Was it an accident?" didn't make it onto the list. Obviously this doesn't apply to repeated errors, but people seem to fly into an apoplectic rage and start screaming about "the bads" over a mistake the first time it happens. It gives one pause, particularly when the person who messed up owns it and apologizes before they're even called out.

"Was it an accident" when people seem to not recognize basic things like stack markers, unable to play their job properly, or fail to realize that they're the reason why the party is failing? No one has even mentioned accidentally failing for the first time or making mistakes. Seems like you're just making more excuses for nonsprout players that just don't know how to play.
