Message: <blockquote data-quote="delericho" data-source="post: 6120584" data-attributes="member: 22424">It sounds very much like the issues of the 'cool' players are such that they're probably not coming back regardless of any bans.That being the case, the owner really shouldn't bother with the bans. They won't help.The first option he should probably consider is whether or not he can tackle the other issues of the 'cool' players. Based on what the OP has said, this seems unlikely, but if he can find a way to make it work then that might be worth going with.Assuming that's not possible, his only real option is to let the 'cool' players go. Leave the door open for them to return... but operate on the basis that they won't. And at that point, he needs to consider whether he can recruit new players to make up the difference, whether he can continue store gaming in the absence of those players, or (in the worst case) whether his store even remains a viable business in the absence of those players.But if his strategy is built on the basis of those players coming back, where there are significant issues that haven't been (possible can't be) resolved, it's almost certainly a losing strategy.(Oh, and FWIW, I'm none too impressed at those 'cool' players. As someone else said, it sounds like they want all the benefits of gaming in their front room, without actually having to have a front room.)</blockquote>
