Colorado Springs has a sparse supply of gamers who are
willing to let me GM at all.  Besides, my group is
made up of (mostly) gamers who've been kicked out of
everyone else's groups.  There's an unspoken agreement
that it won't happen here (but we reserve the right to
get made and sulk.)

Like who?  Besides, not only do I not have any power
in my own particular group, I don't WANT that much
power.  We try to share responsibility for decisions
like that. Besides, today that one guy wasn't having
fun, tomorrow it may well be me.

A course of action which invariably ends up with me
sitting alone on gaming night.  It's like ordering
your last soldier to execute himself as an example to
the others.
