[QUOTE="evilbob, post: 6215322, member: 9789"] It's interesting to hear people talking about the right of "kicking." Personally, I've never experienced a game where a player was kicked out. On the other hand, I know this hobby: I know there are people out there that deserve to be kicked out of a game from time to time. That's not to say there are no people with whom I will no longer play. There is one person in particular that I long ago swore off GMing for, ever again. But there was never a moment of "kicking" this person out. I just stopped inviting them to game when I was GMing. Maybe that's the same thing? Somehow it seems like there's a subtle distinction there. I'm not enforcing anything on this person: I am removing myself from a situation in which I know I won't be comfortable/happy. Our groups have been fluid enough (games rarely last longer than a year) and our lives busy enough that we have that luxury, I guess. Actually, I guess another factor is that no one has been attached enough to one game that if it causes the entire game to dissolve so that we can no longer play with someone who needs to be kicked, then that's fine with everyone. The "fun" of the game is definitely bigger than the game itself. Maybe it's the same thing in the end? [/QUOTE]
