[QUOTE="Arashi Ravenblade, post: 3400178, member: 15630"] Ive had one blow up, and it wasnt even over D&D. We where playing Versus this past year a day before Christmas eve and the entire group was playing one big free for all. Now there is this new guy to versus but he has been with the D&D group since 2005. Anyway he questions everything and takes like twenty minute turns, has to read every single card and never gets them right and never remembers the rules (He does the same in D&D, he still cant figure out BAB) so after like 15 minutes of him trying to figure out a way to get rid of the guy i had pumped up to like a 35/20 I said he was done and my attack was final, and he got all pissy. I Yelled at him and basically told him what I thought of his playing. he quite the game right there on the spot, and has never played again (thank god). I apolagized later to him saying that it was late (it was 3 AM so I guess it was X-mas eve, but it was 11 PM when we started) and I was tired. Most of my group arguments arent even over gaming. One time my germophobic friends brought over his yu-gi-oh cards and I was looking at them. Now I accidentilly dropped one. It was fine. Nothing wrong with it. He proceeded to take it from be very calmly and crinkle it up. I asked why, and he said because it had touched the floor, then me and my friend (we call him Tris) decided to poke holes in his logic. Why didnt he throw away his shoes, or book bag or the bevy of otehr things that he brough over that where touching the floor. He then screamed at the top of his lungs for everyone to be quiet and change the subject. Which just made us laugh, and made him madder. Another time the Germophobe who is also Athiest was at another friends house (now most of my group is either a Christian or at least conservative) and one of Christian yet very hypocritical friends decided Mike (the germophobe) couldnt play WOD, because it has religious themes in it. JD (the hypocrite) proceeded to tell mike that he cant play, support or watch anything that goes against your beliefs, and that he couldnt play because it did not exist for him. The decided to get into a huge argument over religion, they basically then asked me my opinion (which is often what happens in religious arguments in my group since Im the Christian expert of the group), I basically said without trying to offend anyone that you could because it's make believe and that while I dont agree with other religions, my beliefs dont stop me from pretending. That stopped the fight but latre mike told me he was about to hit JD in the face. A few months ago one of my former group member who left due to working all the time stopped by and mike and he proceeded to talk during my game. Which was fine so long as I could DM and could hear what I was saying and what the players where saying. Well a question was asked and i ansewered it which provoked another question from Eric (The visitor) any was I Ansewered that one too and it got a laugh for some reason.
