It does kind of suck though that we're the ones continually
paying for other people's mistakes. Sometimes I wish we had
check-boxes next to each party member's names, and I could
just exclude one person (or two or more) from my song effects.

When you group with casters, mention every now and then that
you get a mana regeneration song at level 32. They tend to
take much more interest in keeping you happy and listening to
your requests once they know that. :-)

Tanks tend to be more stubborn, especially rangers and
paladins (the ones who are least dependent on others). One of
the pallies I constantly group with still has this annoying
habit of jumping into fights when I've invised everyone from a
train.
