Loud, obnoxious people piss me off.
The explanation of this most recent affirmation follows. As some people know, I signed up for a pseudo-Jedi RPG run by Craig Perko. In my experience, Craig is a good GM. When he mentioned it, I jumped; I was the first to sign up and create a character. The last time he ran a game, though, many people flaked out. So this time, he signed up a bunch of people, expecting most of them to drop out.
None of them did.
So he broke it into two sessions: one on Tuesday and one on Thursday. I picked the one on Thursday, as it had fewer people. In this case, fewer meant six. That'd be somewhat manageable, I thought. Then some people from the Tuesday session showed up and drifted in and out of gameplay. The total at any given time was about nine player characters. This meant chaos, essentially; the loudest voice reigned. There were times where I just said to Craig, "My character's just going to go off and meditate until [insert upcoming plot device here]."
I'm thinking of dropping, which is sad, because I was really looking forward to this game. And I liked playing my character, in those brief moments where I actually did something. I just don't find a large party either fun or relaxing. Especially one of the guys who, in character, smoked a lot of pot. He described his character as a "hippie Jedi". I wanted very much to hurt him.
But I'll go next week, and hope other people drop in between now and then. Or maybe... So there are these light Jedi who act as a sort of Internal Affairs. We've run into a couple of them, who have taken care of dark Jedi without us. When I spoke alone with the second one we ran into, he said I should join them. So I'm seeking them out. Maybe if I find and join them, I can play in a separate session from everyone else. That'd be much better.
