In this episode, I talk about being reliable, respecting others at the table and those who play under the influence.

and those who play under the influence.

???!!!

My how times have changed. Sounds like parents teaching basic manners has disappeared.

those who play under the influence.

Simply, they would not be allowed at my table. If they get all offended and swear off my game, win for me.

[treant_on_fire]

Yeah, I guess some episodes will have more obvious points to make than others... xD

Still, I also touch upon other stuff from there, so I also talk about things like those who want to be 'casual' players, or the attitude of people who bend over backwards to welcome the new players to unneeded degrees...

Anyway, I'll let the video do the talking. (And I do a lot of talking in it! Heh.)

Everyone except my wife and I drink at the table. They do not do to excess or get drunk while playing, but it can lead to some very fun and memorable moments. Perhaps that is luck. I have had other bad experiences with it and refuse to game with someone who wants to do a drug, like Ms Wanna.

I may have given the wrong impression that I expected tea-teetotalers at my game. Not at all, we've had theme nights (Cigar night was awesome) and having a few drinks doesn't bother me at all. I just translated "under the influence" as meaning "drunk."

Same here. Nothing wrong with having a couple beers with that pizza.

[treant_on_fire]

Well, I did say that a beer or two at the game is fine... :p
But yeah, beyond 3 beers, players usually start to be less than attentive or don't play as well.
Anyway, like I said, other groups don't mind, but in the end I stick to the idea that it won't help a game.
