If the character wants to stab random people in town and set houses on fire, and get the entire party hauled into jail, that's a waste of my time because he's being an ass. If a character wants to make fart noisees while everyone else is trying to stealthfully infiltrate some place, that's a waste of my time trying to play the game. If a character wants to stand up in the middle of a ball and urinate on the Duke's shoes, getting us thrown out, that's a waste of my time to get us in in the first place. If the character wants to run several rooms ahead to alert the monsters and drag them back to us, that's a waste of my time. Bringing in a mime with the hiccups to a Call of Cthulu game is a waste of my time of the game's atmosphere. I've had too many games fall apart because one person's "Character" had no reason to stay with the group."Because I'm in character" is no excuse for ruining the fun of the other people at the table. And if that's the individual being "in character", then my character is going to kick them out of the damn party at sword-point and go on without them, or slit their throat in their sleep.</blockquote>
