**BREAKING: Local Tabletop Enthusiast Literally Unplayable After Friend Dares To Suggest House Rule**
*Le me, OP*, sitting down to enjoy a **soul-crushing 8-hour** session of *Twilight Imperium* (yes, it’s a personality, not a hobby) when Chad from accounting—who still thinks *Monopoly* is a good game—pulls the nuclear option.
**Chad:** “Hey, can we… not have the ‘no trading with the guy who’s losing’ rule tonight?” 💀
Cue record scratch. AITA for flipping the table, screaming “YOU DON’T TURN *CIVILIZATION* INTO *PEACEFUL* CIVILIZATION!” and then locking myself in the bathroom to write a 4,000-word manifesto on how house rules are the death of Western society? TL;DR: My gaming group now has a “No Chad” rule, which is honestly an improvement.
**Verdict:** YTA. But also, NTA. The sacred balance of cardboard and plastic must be preserved. Also, Chad hasn’t read the rules since 2017. 💅
