I've had my fair share of bad gamers and do not want to bring Crazy into my house.With this guy there was no one thing that screamed out "Warning!", it was just a big bunch of things that added up to "keep your eye on this guy and hope you're wrong."I talked to him through e-mail, and he gave me his link to his D&D-based website.His site was nice since he was a college student with plenty of free time. But it did mention some Eberron related stories, which meant to me that I had to let him know that if he wanted to play or run an Eberron game, it wouldn't be with us. We're a group of 30+ grognards, 2 of our group will never play in Eberron, and the remainder would only play it if that was the only option. So I figured I better let the guy know that about us before joining.He also did not answer one of my questions. He stated that he'd have to work late every other day. So I asked if that meant Fridays as well - no response.It was just the combination of how good his site was, his assumptions that we would take him without having ever talked to or seen him in person, and the way he worded his e-mails.Then I talked to him over the phone. He was very disappointed, almost argumentative over the "no Eberron" concept. Then he wanted to play a celestial race from the Savage Species book, which none of us owned and probably never will. I told him the DM will decide on whether that would be ok in the campaign.And he wanted to know if he could come over 2 hours early because he gets off work that early. I told him that was out of the question because the guy whose house we play at is very busy up until game time and there was no way I was going to give approval for that, so he'd have to ask our host.You see, none of this stuff individually was directly bad, but when I added it all up, I started hoping he would decide it was not for him and he wouldn't show.And he didn't.</blockquote>
