[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 5442982, member: 52734"] I've had a lot of players come and go at my games - lots who have played one time and then I never see again, but I don't know if I've ever driven someone away from my game with my antics. The closest I can think of was a young couple I was gaming with when in Georgia a few years back. They were newlywed as were my wife and I. They were the only friends we had around us at the time - though I can't remember how we met them (we'd just moved there, my wife was going to college for her BS) and after about three months of gaming ... they just didn't show up any more and they wouldn't answer our phone calls. I saw them once more some time later, wheeling around a stroller (yes, with a baby in tow), but was ignored by them and never got the story of just exactly why they just stopped (though I had a partial guess) and would not have anything to do with my wife or I any more. It was just sort of strange. On the opposite end, I have had a case of a very patient player - in his first game, we helped him make up a character but things were so involved with the established group I couldn't seem to find a point to bring him into the game (I was very young and stupid, looking back I should have made such a point). He hung around for literally four hours doing nothing before we took a break. I forget how I got him into the group later, but I am amazed he stayed around (and became a steady player) and I still get quite embarrassed about my faux pas of keeping him hanging for so long. ...And then there was the cheater I had to drive from playing at our games. My group asked me why it took me so long to "call him out" on the cheating. [/QUOTE]
