[QUOTE="Retreater, post: 6120630, member: 42040"] Ok. Let me clarify about the situation. They aren't demanding the store owner change anything. They left to game at one of the other player's apartments. This is a group of about 5 players. There are other players who dropped out too who aren't a part of the "cool" clique. They are actually open to gaming with most people. There are three players that I know of that they did not want to game with at the store. The first came to Encounters and constantly berated 4E - and we later found out he was a registered sex offender - which was not good considering the number of kids in the store. The other two is the middle aged couple. First, the two of them have NEVER purchased a thing in the history of the store. They come in and sit all day and don't buy anything (neither of them work, which is not really an important detail, except to say they are loitering for a long time.) They come up to the customers and follow them around the store, trying to make friends. It does creep out some of the customers. In fact, they have followed us to a restaurant post-game one time and wanted to sit with us and drink water. The players who have defected to play at their home do not plan on coming back. They have found a better place to game. I do not think the owner should expect them to do so. But he is concerned that the strange couple are driving away new potential customers and players.
