[QUOTE="MadMaxim, post: 2548798, member: 15207"] She threatened to quit the game, if I didn't give her enough XP to go up a level and get up next to the other 8th-level party members (which she shouldn't, because nobody received a huge amount of XP during the sessions that she was absent). I consider that regular blackmailing. I don't have any problems with players stating their wishes about the game, but when they come and directly demand something from me that they shouldn't have, I put my foot down and tell them that it's not going to happen. So far I haven't had any problems of this kind. The other players are enjoying the game and I do encourage the players to tell me their opinions, because I want the game to be fun for everyone. Wishes are one thing, demands are somehting else entirely. I only said that I was tempted to kick her out because of the ultimatum. As I stated earlier, I care about what my players think about the game, but when demands are thrown on the table out of thin air instead of mentioning that I may have forgot to hand out some XP I don't really think you can blame me for thinking: "What the heck is she trying to pull off here!?"
