[QUOTE="Ulrick, post: 4762386, member: 775"] This is the opposite of what cruel things DMs do to players. Players sometimes can be cruel to each other and the DM. What nasty things have you, as a player, done to the DM or to other players at the table? (And no posting: "yeah... I played a thief/rogue once and stole from the party." It has been done to death.) Here's an example from a Star Wars game: I played an imperial spy who owned a frieghter with the goal of sneaking into the rebel alliance. The other players were rebels who suspected I was a double agent. They snuck aboard my ship and planted explosives in case I double-crossed them. At a key moment during a space battle between the Rebel Alliance and the Empire, I declared I was hyperspacing away. Another player, in his own ship, warned me not to try jump away or my ship would be destroyed. I declared to the GM that I was making the jump. The player was all happy and gloating that he got the chance to blow my ship up. He declared to the GM: "I detonate the explosives on the frieghter." The GM says, "Your ship blows up!" The other player laughed and laughed, until he realized that his own ship had blown up and his character had died. Earlier, I had already discovered the explosives on my ship and planted them on the other player's ship.... :D [/QUOTE]
