[QUOTE="Chimera, post: 2400388, member: 2002"] I tried to boot a player from my game group way back in highschool (late 70's), but the other players refused to go along with it. Stayed friends with the individual in question, but there was some tenseness for a long period of time. Of course, we've long since drifted apart. Booted a long-time friend from my game four years ago. I've explained that one to death on this board so I'll let it go. Voted (as a player) to boot someone from another game. Shortly thereafter a relatively new player gave the GM a "him or me" ultimatum about ME and the GM decided to simply end the game. Given the loss of players and his own personal situation, it was the right move. Funny thing is that I'm now friends with the player I voted to boot and we play together in another game (started after this one). Had the GM of another game break up his group because he didn't like several of the players in that group. Later invited me to join another group where he was a player. I played about a dozen sessions before deciding that I wasn't having fun and didn't like the GM's adversarial style. Been booted from one group. That being this last winter. The GM gave me clues up front that he wasn't comfortable with me being there, which was really odd since he didn't know me from Adam. He seemed to own every PDF and rule book in existance and told me that he would be strict with certain rules. Then when I pointed out an error made on a Tumble roll, he seemed to completely lose it, told me that it was a "rules lite" campaign and disinvited me from the game. Um....yeah, sure. Given the other things going on in his game, I'm not too worried. I doubt I'd have played more than 5-6 sessions. Have quit several other groups over the years due to issues with the GM's game style. Don't have any problem walking away if I'm not having fun or I don't like the style of play. [/QUOTE]
