This was a 36 year old father of two at the time, mind you... not some 14 year old. He also holds the record for the biggest temper tantrum I've ever seen one human throw when something didn't go his character's way (well... didn't go the way *he* thought it *should* go), he threw his sheet across the table at the GM and said "f. it, you have an NPC now" and walked out in the middle of the game.*shrug* he's been universally banned as a player for over 6 years now. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Ironically, he's a pretty good DM and I've enjoyed playing Call of Cthulu and D&D with him running it. Just can't let him play.There is no easy answer to the whole topic though. Some people's "style" of play includes being an insufferable jerk. We all like to say "the right way" and that means whatever you personally happen to think of good play. Problem is, this is different from person to person in ways you may not even begin to understand. I think the goal is to find others who are pretty close, if not exact, to your style.I've never seen a situation where trying to teach someone to "play right" didn't end up making everyone upset and causing fairly major problems, without anything positive really happening for all the trouble.</blockquote>
