[QUOTE="LordOfTheWaffleHouse, post: 9513565, member: 7044860"] I just kick players like that, to be honest. We're all adults (most of the time), and it's not my job to hold your hand as a player. Manners and generally acceptable behavior are fairly standard across the board and everyone's supposed to be there to have fun, and they get an early explanation of what's going to be occurring in a game during recruitment, if not at session 0.
