Message: <blockquote data-quote="sniffles" data-source="post: 2405923" data-attributes="member: 30035">Nobody has ever been booted out of a game in our group, but I will admit I was almost "disinvited" to join a new campaign. The GM had some issues with my behavior in a previous campaign and wasn't sure he wanted to put up with it a second time. I was pretty upset, though on reflection I think that was mainly due to the way he presented the problem to me: he emailed me and said he was thinking of excluding me from his new game, after the new game had already been proposed and I was getting enthusiastic about it. I wish he'd said something earlier, and perhaps in person. Oddly, one of the things I did that annoyed him was "conversational bulldozing", i.e. talking over other people, which his new wife does constantly. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" />  We have had a couple of players who are just not invited to join us anymore. One of them was one of the people who helped introduce me to roleplaying. When I first RP'd with him I thought he was very considerate. Either I was oblivious or he's changed over the years. He's now very competitive and wants to "win" at everything, by being best in combat, getting the most treasure, etc. He finds our group boring because we want to roleplay, not just kill monsters and get stuff. He also cheats on his dice rolls and argues constantly about rules. One GM in the group actually did kick him out of a campaign I'm not involved in, which was pretty surprising because this GM is an old friend and is usually extremely tolerant. Lately I've noticed that there is one player who is gradually being eased out of the group. As we like to say, he doesn't play a character, he plays a character sheet. This isn't meshing well with the play style of the group these days. In the past he was always included because we usually played at his place, but since several of the other player/GMs have recently purchased homes with dedicated gaming space, we've started playing at their homes. This player will not accept a ride from anyone and doesn't own a car. He complained about the bus ride to get to one GM's home, so we just assumed it would be a problem for him and didn't include him when we started a new game. It actually worked out really well for us because the remaining players can now roleplay our little hearts out without being annoyed by his erratic "rollplaying".</blockquote>
