[QUOTE="Monstrosity, post: 3403112, member: 50524"] I once had to deal with two tantrums over the phone. I was getting ready to DM and had 4 players with me when I received a phone call from one of the players saying that he and his girlfriend, also a player, couldn't make it to the game. I was fine with that and told him I'd tell them about the game after we were done and that they wouldn't miss anything. His girlfriend picked up the phone and they both started arguing that they were valuable players and that the game should be cancelled since they couldn't be there. I explained that I already had 4 players over and that it was quite enough to run a game and promised them that they wouldn't miss anything important. After much arguing and tantrums from both players, the girl said that she was tired of playing anyway and wouldn't be coming back. She hung up when I started laughing. The good part? My phone is loud and they were shouting so my players heard everything. [/QUOTE]
