I know I can count on them to pay attention. I know I can count on them to know the rules. I know I can count on them to do something interesting, no matter what. I would rather have a table full of "power gamers" than almost any other gamer type known to man. The fact that they want to use the game and play the game in order to get something out of the game is a total positive. That's not something I want to step on; that's something I want to leverage to get a better game out. I generally deal with them by patting them on the back and letting them be interesting. The only problem that comes up with any sort of regularity is sometimes that I need to remind them that there are..." - Alexander Williams
