yet you don't use airquotes elsewhere. you really think the DM is a rival to the players, it shows in the shit you're writing out.

imho, you've been playing the game wrong for a long time. you need to stop thinking of the DM as some counter to your players and instead think of them as an orchestra conductor.

I shouldn't have to explain this shit to you either. you're either being willfully ignorant or motivated to start some shit. not my monkeys,not my circus.
