Message: <blockquote data-quote="Chimera" data-source="post: 3399481" data-attributes="member: 2002">The most uncomfortable moment that I have had at a game table was when the 8-months pregnant wife of the GM put her character in harms way, refused to back off, then began threatening to make his life a living hell if he killed her character.  He got very uncomfortable, there was a lot of silence around the table and several people tried to defuse the situation with humor.  She wouldn't have it.  Finally, a long time player/friend of theirs declared that it wasn't right and he wouldn't play with anyone who did something like that.Her PC died.  She came back the next session with one that was rather excessive on the stats, being 61 points.  The guy who had made the statement quit the game.  Unfortunately for me, my work schedule changed and I could no longer make it, so I too had to drop.  (When you get off at 7pm and the game runs from 4pm to 10pm, it ain't worth it.)Used to play with a guy who was pathologically incapable of PAYING ATTENTION.  He would get the strangest ideas in his head because he wasn't quite aware, then start arguing with people over them.  Since he was so convinced that he was right, he never listened to what the other people said, he just heard "they're not agreeing with me" and launched an even more vigorous defense of his hopelessly reality-challenged "idea".  Emily Litella (from the original SNL) had nothing on this man.He was always telling me what a bad temper I had, because I'd get pissed at this pattern of behavior and his inability to listen to WHY he was wrong when he'd argue things like;  A number of Kobold Sorcerers in an army, all casting different spells.  He argues that I shouldn't have ONE Kobold Sorcerer casting all those different spells.  Now be real.  Obviously, by the rules, that couldn't happen.  But that was what he had in his head, so that is what he kept pounding me with.  The sixth time I had to tell him that wasn't what I was doing, I blew my cool.  But all he heard was the word "criticism", so he changed tactics and said "OK, I get what I'm doing wrong.  I shouldn't be presenting it as a criticism.  I should me making a suggestion.  I should be suggesting that you shouldn't have one kobold casting all those different spells..."I no longer associate with this person.</blockquote>
