[QUOTE="Raunalyn, post: 7472787, member: 72670"] Three times... First time was waaaay back in the early 90's. Had a guy who was a DM...the kind of DM who greatly enjoys killing off characters, taking glee when he does something to "outsmart" the players, etc. Not a fun guy to play with. Well, I gave him a chance to play in one of my games, making it very clear that disruptions would not be tolerated in game. So, of course, he creates an evil character. The rest of the party is good/neutral. Every time, in game, he would do something evil and/or criminal, I would ask him, "Are you sure you want to do that?" Basically, gave him enough rope to hang himself with. So, finally (and I forget what he did), he got caught...authorities show up. He tries to get the party to help him out...none of them will. He's captured and is later beheaded. The player didn't want to play anymore. Second time was the girlfriend of a friend of mine. She was playing a cleric, but refused to heal anyone because, "It's against my player's motivation." Yet, she wouldn't provide said motivation. After her character was ambushed by a bunch of assassins, the rest of the party refused to assist. The player didn't want to play anymore. You're noticing a theme here, I'm guessing. Third time was more recent. I'm gaming with a group of players I've been playing with for years in an online game. Recent addition decided to play this completely anti-social player who would not listen and would always do his own thing. So, during one session, the group is trying to get some information from a shopkeeper in Gracklstugh, asking questions in character. So the guy suddenly goes full nerd rage for no reason, talking about "meta-gaming" and yelling about how no one was in character. He left the game on his own...still don't quite know what that was about. [/QUOTE]
