Message: <blockquote data-quote="Leopold" data-source="post: 484947" data-attributes="member: 758">I have had to warn players who were being disruptive or generally doing things out of character that they shouldn't. I have only had 2 people 'quit' my game. One person just never showed up again (all his PC's were the same anyway and were annoying), the second just said "I lost the heart for the game" which roughly translate into "My wife doesn't let me play and I have too much other stuff she wants me to do". Also #2 wanted us to start at 4pm and play till 8pm and then move. We normally play from 2pm till 11pm and that was unacceptable.I sternly warn players who are causing troulbe in my games by pulling them aside and talking to them about the issues that i am having with them and the way they are acting. If all is resolved we shake and move back to the playing area. If it's not resolved I ask them how they wish to resolve it  and then go from there. Does it detract from play? Yes. But i would rather spend 10min to fix a problem rather than having the problem linger for several hours. Honesty with examples on problems and how to resolve them on your side make things work smoothly. Booting a person out, just follow the above advice and add in "It's not working out for me and for you". I never blame myself for this mess as above, that's a copout and I don't want to feel the self-guilt that that entails.</blockquote>
