A perfect gamer is

By:

A very short piece

A perfect gamer… 
   ...is always on time to the game, if not early. The gamer will also inform others ahead of time if they are going to miss a session or be late.
   ... is dedicated to game. When the gamer is at the game, they game. They do not do other things, nor do they distract the others from gaming.
   ...plays well with other gamers, sharing the spotlight and making sure everyone has something to do.
   ...always pays attention to the game. The gamer knows what is going on and is watching for story lines and details.
   ...not only takes the story lines the GM provides, but is pro-active and generates their own story lines.
   ...knows the spirit and the letter of the rules being used for the game. A perfect gamer helps others with those rules, in such a way as not to disrupt the game.

**********Strive to be a perfect gamer**********

I'm going to hang this on my wall. Do you have "A very short piece" for the GM as well?
This does justice to the term good solid idea! Not a word too long, and not a word too short.
Excellent!

There is no such thing as a perfect GM. You can get close, if you can find the Spielberg equivalent of a GM. Generally there are different styles and types of GMs. The GM might be perfect for you, but there are too many.

Okay, I will try.

Not to derail the thread but th comment of Spielberg reminded me or an interview I read with the actress who played Princess Leia. She likened Spielberg's directing style and ability to that of a porn star director. Nearly all he ever told any of the cast was "Harder! With more Emotion next time!" (Not a quality I'd want in a gm lol)

As for the piece itself, it's excellent. Short and easy to remember. It should be printed on the first page of every players handbook for every game ever written.

hey im new to this site but was here years ago w/ another name. anyways dont remember so im newbie by default. Firstly, I am a sci-fi reader and I hope to meet success with my writing. My favorite series of books are Larry Nivens RINGWORLD tetralogy (Ringworld, RingWorld Engineers, The RingWorld Throne, and RingWorlds Children) For those that havnt read the ring world is the greatest artificial structere ever discovered. A ring, its circumference equal to earths orbit, it is built around a sol-like star. Shadow squares halfway betwwn the ring and the sun provide 15 hours of night in a thirty hour day. 70 days equals one falan (one full rotation of ring world. The inner surface-the one exposed to the sun, is terraformed and is one millionkmwide cntrifugal force provides gravity, and rim walls 1000km high keep the atmosphere in. Population of RNH(ringworld native hominids) estimated in the trillions. The origins of who built it and why are too sticky to get into. But the ringworld , millions of years ago, was populated bt A race called Pak Protectors. Protectors are ancestors of all homo sapiens. they populated ringworld with homo erectus, but left no predators in the ecology. hence, hominids evolved into every ecological niche. (Vampires, Carrion Eaters, Giant Herbivores, Small Carnivores, some built great technologies and went interstellar. Oh, and ringworld is 300 million times the surface area of earth. post if youre interested, Ill elabortae on native species and alien vistors
