"If I fail, it's not because I didn't try, or because I didn't work hard enough... Sometimes your party just sucks."
--Overheard during the first day of classes

Now there's an inspirational message for college freshmen everywhere.

That sounds like a reasonable theory. A party can easily suck that bad, if most of the group is trying to wander off on their own, or if one or two of the guys in the party really aren't in the mood to play and keep screwing with the stereo, or if one min/max powerhouse character gets all the action and everyone else gets bored. Or, if the general party is evil and you are supposed to be doing heroic acts.

Warning, anecdote time: Once, my party was forced to go rescue a hostage prince. On the way, we wiped out a farm family on the edge of town, so we could have a rent-free place to stay. We burned down a couple of bars. And, finally, the geas over, we muted the king's pet wizard before stripping him of his gear and selling him into slavery.

It sounds like they're talking about an RPG, or maybe D&D, where you have a "party" of people and they have to fight monsters and find valuable items and usually save the world, but that doesn't quite make sense because if you work hard enough you really should be able to level up your party enough to avoid failing, even if they suck. (Although I have had some bad experiences with Dark Cloud where you need items to get money to get items. But generally you have to be pretty incautious to get yourself into an impossible situation.)
