We had a new player and forgot to tell him that in character arguments happen.   I forget what the new player had his character do despite being warned by the other characters- it may have been repeatedly stabbing a dragon that the party had kiled, because dragon's have acidic blood in the game we were playing.  Anway, the mage goes off on how stupid the character is for not listening to the warnings the other party members gave him.  An argument ensues and initially everybody thinks that it is an argument between characters. Suddenly, the new player hurls an insult clearly aimed at the wizard's player. Its only at that moment, that we realize that the new player has been mistakenly believed the wizard's player's comments were directed at him and not the character.  It took about ten minutes to calm the new player down and explain to him that everything was in character and not to be taken personally.  He eventually calmed down and apologized.#2  I was guilty. The DM had my character with no rolling not notice an ambush and also automatically fail a poison save that resulted in my character being drugged and unconcious.  Normally, I would have been annoyed, but gone along with it. However, I was on a drug with a known but unlikely possible side effect of causing personality and mood disorders.  I got irrate and walked out ruining the session for everyone.    A couple of days later  my boss called me into the office and asked if I was on drugs, because he noticed I was acting out of character and had been talking to myself the past two days.  When I mentioned the meds the doctor gave me,  we called the doctor, who immediatley took me off the meds.</blockquote>
