[QUOTE="William drake, post: 3613948, member: 49143"] Ok, bad things could happen. Now you've really put your self in the seat to save the players, unless you want them to die. 1) if the players ever fall asleep, they could be dead? 2) if the PLANT ever gets out of site while in a city *time to find some fun and nasty things to use on the players: in their food, drink, while their sleeping* the players die. I could go on, but this could really end blowing in your face. I know, I did this before. I let one guy I knew play in the game, he was the villian, and once he got playing, he wanted to do it all. He wanted to set the players up, and make them fall. Now, it worked, but the players did end up killing him, but it was all rolled out and the game could have very well ended that night. I once said "hey, take it easy on them." and he answered, "you asked me to play a con man/street thug/ killer in a party where I want to use them. And, if they ever found out about me, I'd be the type of guy to walk them out and put two rounds in the bakc of their head..." It was true. So, to play it any less would've been weak. Now, I didn't just let him do what he wanted. He had to deal with his own issues. Many of which didn't involve the players since it wasn't really hard to hide his affaris from them. See, I could've dropped hints, and moved them into positions to figure out who he was, but he did a good job at hiding himself....you see where this is going. Just saying. Watch out. Game On [/QUOTE]
