[QUOTE="Painfully, post: 1319412, member: 601"] Zhure has the right idea, but starting a new group is different than filling in a group that is short of people. When starting a campaign, I try to emphasize group participation. Some people have it in their heads that attacking other player's characters is more fun than completing a mission or group objective. To me, they are being selfish and inconsiderate to the others who came to enjoy a night of gaming. Other problems need to be persistant before I usually take notice. Table behavior should be reasonably polite. Personal hygene should not offend the person sitting next to you. And do bring your character sheet to every session. I think, or at least would like to think, that problem players usually know who they are before the group erupts into, "we don't want to play with you anymore." If that is not the case, then it's important to let the person know exactly why he was incompatible with the group. Dodging the real issue doesn't help anybody. Be honest. Be polite. And if you can't do both, then be honest. :) [/QUOTE]
