[QUOTE="Amitiel, post: 3416460, member: 49039"] Over the game itself: once. While running 2ed in a game store, a new player joined my already large group (he was player 9) made no attempt to introduce his PC to the other PCs. Just walked aboard their ship. Naturally my paranoid(with good reason) player's PCs were less than thrilled when a strange Mage just walks on board their ship without so much as a hello. They accosted him and demanded an explaination, they ended up killing his hawk familier when he (rather than answer) ordered it to divebomb the PC holding him over the rail demanding answers. (Those who remember 2ed should remember what used to happen when you killed a familier with a wince.) The PC did let him go and he hit the dock, took 6 points of damage and not so promptly died of System Shock roll failure. He was of coarse pissed about this and it took a lot of hammering to get the 'roleplaying' part of rpg into his skull. After 30 minutes of argument he rolled a new character. His new character was a dwarf and he then proceeded to win creepy guy award by hitting on an underage 1/2 elf in the Inn's tavern, the daughter of the barkeep, and tried to persuade him (and me) that he should be aloud to 'make a woman out of her' and the barkeep should 'pay him for the priviledge. When pointed out she was the equivilent of a 10 year old, he said quoting one of the rapist in the movie 'A Time to Kill' 'If she can walk she can wiggle'. He doesn't come near us anymore, or walk straight. As for at the table but not game related, we had one player quit because they had slept with another player while they were drunk but the other player wasn't interested in a relationship. We had one tossed out for discussing one of the other players having been in a mental hospital when that person wasn't there (we all knew but we were in a public space). He got banned later for telling customers to go to another store. We had one guy who used to stand behind female players trying to see down their shirts or rub up against them. One of them threatened him with a mace (not the spray the weapon) to get him to stop. Then we had the player who would not shut up. He talked and talked and talked. He at one point talked so much during character creation his (2ed) bard had no spells, not that he couldn't cast them, just that he never picked any. His talking was so loud to, his speaking voice could be heard across a football stadium. he was also tossed for disturbing customers. [/QUOTE]
