Everyone was new to RPGs except me and one other guy, so I was the GM. After about 6 months, the other experienced guy decided I wasn't letting him be awesome enough. He convinced everyone else to move the game to a night I had class (as we were in college), and make someone else the GM. Not only was I booted as GM, but I was removed from the game.The story has a happy ending, however. I was able to return in a few months as a player, and I found most of the players were... dissatisfied... with the new GM. There was no real challenge, and the only deaths were the ones that were self inflicted (it was a VERY lethal system, where average life expectancy was only 6 sessions or so). Someone suggested that I take over again, and we had a competition where both of us (plus another player who put his hat in the ring) each designed and ran a one-shot adventure, allowing the group to vote for who they wanted. The only person who voted against me was the jerk that got me booted in the first place; even the other two potential GMs thought I was far superior! Unsurprisingly, the rest of the group eventually booted the jerk when he started up crap again  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" /></blockquote>
