His way of dealing with arguing players is to have more bad guys show up. Repeat until players quit arguing and get on with the game.Yeah sure it's a bit messed up some guy bringing a sawn-off to church. But in an RPG it's not the sinking of the Titanic, guys. Fairly pointless arguments during the first session are a good way to make a GM feel like jacking the whole thing in as a bad job.Fairly pointless?Yeah, fairly pointless. OK, the guy was metagaming, sure. But I'll tell you this much;I don't know a single player who doesn't metagame their ass off as soon as someone mentions the word 'Call of Cthulu'.Maybe that's because the CoC GM's I've known treat the game as 'Kill characters and try to seriously creep the players out'. It's unusual for any character to survive the session; these are not Investigators, they are roadkill.But anyway.C'mon, man. It's just a game.</blockquote>
