Yeah, that's a good point. I hope I would be undertanding and try to correct them gently but it probably would get on my nerves.

On the other hand, I'm not sure why a real teacher would want to RP being a teacher. I play T2K to escape reality.

I'm curious as to why T2K appeals to vets- especially combat vets- when it can only ever beel a pale approximation of the real military experience.

SimonMark6: That's a really good point. The Sgt. Ellias/Sgt. Barnes (Platoon) intra-party drama is all fine and dandy when the players are cool with it and have discussed it ahead of time. I've only ever seen this kind of thing develop on the fly and get personal fast, though, and that kind of ruins it for everyone involved.

Maybe it's just something about my game that makes players despise each other.
