Message: <blockquote data-quote="DonTadow" data-source="post: 2401915" data-attributes="member: 22622">horror storiesI've been both booted out and had to boot out players. The only group I had ever been booted out from was last year and it was something neither the DM or I wanted.  I was playing a pirate very much in the style of Jack Sparrow from the pirate movies.  The group was great, but from the beginnings I sensed that one of the players didn't like me, because of the way I played character.  She was the only thief in the group before I got there and I think she felt threatened.  She also hated the lewd "pg" way I played Sparrow which none of the other players seemed to have a problem with.  I had one private conversation with the DM about toning down the language which I quickly complied to after the second week.   Things seemed to be going great for 7 more weeks and then the treasure inncident happened.  There were mounds of treasure at the bottom of this underground lake and only my character had the capability of swimming.  I scooped up all of the treasure I could and came across a pearl why i was down there.  The player's character whom did not like me, had a love for pearls.  My thought was that the coniving guy my character was, he'd pocket the pearl and present it to her later as a way to mend some peace with her, or at best bribe her in some way to be more warm to me.  We ended session with me telling the dm that i was going to pocket the pearl for now.  My intentions seemed obvious that I was not going to sell it and that I had no use for the pearl.   That week the GM called me and told me that several players didn't like Sparrow as a character, and that I should return the pearl.  I told the dm my intentions and he said they were good but that they felt i was trying to be a treasure hog, which made no sense to me because i could not "spend" the pearl.  I agreed to give up the pearl during the next session as peace was more important to me.  I also began working on a backup character that i told the gm i wanted to replace the current character in the next few weeks, as i felt i couldn't play the sparrow like character the way i wanted to.  A few days later i get a call from the dm telling me that the players didn't want me to return, it completely stunned me and i could tell the gm was disappointed to.  It took me a couple weeks to figure out why.  One of the players wives, whom once came as a guest player, soon took my place as a permanent player.  The good thing is I'm still really cool with the DM as I don't think neither of us wanted me to go.</blockquote>
