[QUOTE="Ranger5, post: 2401930, member: 17981"] I've only ever had to do it once in 20+ years of gaming which I find very lucky after having read some of the stories above. ;) Mine came a few years ago when 3.0 was around before 3.5 came out. I was running a game and this guy I knew who I played miniature battles with said he was interested in playing DND. Now I should have known better since I knew him to be kind of a butthead when we played B5 Wars but I think it was mainly because he was so darn good at it and won most of the time. However he did not have a lot of experience with DND so I thought he would just sit back and play well. I could not have been more wrong. He was a constant rules lawyer and pouted everytime he missed an attach role. The bets came when he rode his character rode his heavy warhorse into combat with some trolls. Well some attacked him and one attacked his horse. Well the troll scored a crit on the horse which ended up killing it. He was so mad he threw his dice and pouted the rest of the game. After that session, I sent him an email explaining how much that distubed the rest of the group as well as myself. He did not respond but also didn't show up next session. When I called him he said he was not feeling well. I then learned that he had ditched the session to play at another local game store. So then I knew he had lied to me. After that I sent him an email explaining he was no longer invited and he he pratically through a hissy fit over email to me. I pretty much ignored him after that and he eventually moved away.
