That's a good theory but what do you do when you have a whole group going up and one guy insists on dragging them down?Some people are not good at that stuff. They may enjoying seeing it happen but cannot really partake. May be stop trying to push him and let him do his thing.
Lets hypothetically overstate the mismatching player here's preference for an example.
No matter how much of a nice guy that one person is, do they get to hold the sway?
If his thing is counter to the enjoyment of their thing - the larger group's interest should win out.
I've voluntarily left groups a number of times when I realized I was the one pulling in the wrong direction. That's the responsible thing to do.
One thing to note about this style is it really needs full group buy in to work at its best. Listen to the Dodoborne podcast I noted a bit ago. Pick any one member of the cast and imagine them not going along and just being a traditional tRPG player and the whole thing falls apart.
In the advice quoted in this thread from DH, the first portion on some basic ways to ask for info from the player would work with partial buy in. But if the group wants to do the 'going further' bit you can't leave anyone out and pull it off.
So at some point the table has to pick a style based on the majority of those present. When that style hasn't been mine, I've politely excused myself so they could fill with someone more to their vibe. That's the right move. The wrong move is making everyone else hold to the wishes of one.
