Sorry, thats just funny.To explain it...was the player nuts, did he have an opinion about what Cthulu was? was the creature already effecting him? was the Archeologist nuts...or atleast getting there to always be carryig around a loaded weapon?All those reasons are fine for a horror game, but to just simply have it at the start of the game, with no reason, does make it a bit funny.ON the other hand, what if his background story is what I've said...what if he and the DM knew he was the one who was going to tell the party about what Cthulu was (what if he was the player who was going to inform the party, the "yoda" of the group?) in that case, he wouldn't have to explain himself, that would open up parts of the plot that the DM didn't want out yet?But, you're right, those are prob not the reasons.And yes, I dont like it when players do things that dont make any sense, they just do them to do them.LIke, in a D&D game I had one player who tried to tell me that he ALWAYS slept in his armor. His reasons, that if they were attacked, hed be ready, and he's a knight, so he has alot of foes. After laughing, I made him take off the armor, and always asked him at every inn, right before bed "now billy, did you get into your P.J's"I had another player who was a knifemen..and he wore a mask, always...and when after people stoped wanting to talk to him "NPC's in the game" he asked "why dont they seem to like me, or talk to me?" and I said, " well, your always wearing that creepy mask...would u want to talk to the terrorist in the facewrap?" and he said "well, I kill people for a living, I cant let anyone know who I am." and I said "well, it wont be hard to track down the guy in the ski mask will it? No, and, what kind of a killer are you if you worry about being caught all the time? maybe you shouldn't play that guy...to much thinking involved and a mask isnt the bandaid for you to fix this prob."What I'm saying, is players who RP as if they are always suspicious, or parrnoid, shouldn't be allowed. You can be crazy, but people who constatly think they are under watch, dont leave their houses, and dont make for good intergroup mixing.Same thing "well, I have enemies" true, but "are they looking for you in the YMCA?" if the player says "yes" then they cant play.</blockquote>
