[QUOTE="rgard, post: 3555343, member: 4157"] I haven't personally booted a player, but a group of my friends did indirectly. The player in question was always a disrupting force in the game. He would for no apparent reason have his character attack other PCs. The system used didn't matter, WoD, 3.5, 1E, or Warhammer FRP...the group he was in played with lots of different systems, the player continued to do stupid stuff. Other annoying behavior included theft. He would eat all the individually wrapped mints in the DM's candy bowl on the sly. Then stuff the wrappers under the couch cushions. Was also caught pulling fruit out of one player's back pack. The player also volunteered for the food run one game night to the local Taco Bell. The DM asked for a large combo (or whatever the call it there). When problem player returned, the DM received a small combo. When asked asked about the portion sizes the problem player responded that Taco Bell stopped doing combo meals. Meanwhile, the problem player was drinking a large drink...that was the DM's. He also had hygiene issues. The DM didn't feel comfortable just booting him out of the games. So collectively the DM and the rest of the players told the problem player that there was now a $25 fee to play in the games each week. This was collected to ensure the DM kept up with the latest WotC and other system releases. It worked and he stopped going to their game sessions. Same problem player came in to my game store for the weekly sessions. I DM'd 3.5 one week and my friend DM'd 3.5 the off week. The problem player manifested most of the same behavior. I had to really watch when he went through the individual D&D minis basket as the minis would disappear. We got fed up with the problem player. The younger players (mid to late teens) got fed up with him as well and nicknamed him, 'The Tool.' So for 'sh*ts and grins' the other DM and I decided to have a running competition on how spectacularly we could kill the Tool's characters. In one session I ran he went through 4 characters in one encounter. Most memorable was the death by goblin children. He was at this point wise to the high death rate. For a high level session I had to dig deep and found a spell in an old OD&D/1E 3rd party supplement called 'Bisection Plane'. His character was running from a swarm of death scarabs, got hit with the Bisection Plane losing his feet. It wasn't pretty. Thanks, Rich [/QUOTE]
