Let's just say nobody I play with (or would play with) would ever do something like this.Not that I haven't done mean things before, the meanest went something like this:Group was playing, one guy had to leave, which was fine with us (I have a background policy like many others-though characters can die), and left his character with someone else. About 15 minutes later we got a call that a friend to several of us had car problems. Several guys left their sheets and ran off to go help her.Well, the players left (I was DM) hit a point that there would be combat and we all decided to hold off (by this point we were missing 4 players). We ended up playing "21," a drinking game where you count up the "1's" while rolling a few d6's and passing them around the table. Now a bit older, we weren't really playing "hardcore" but just to pass the time, laugh, and talk. Yeah, we drank too, both guys rides just left, we started playing in the afternoon and it was only early evening. The next day someone emails "hey, what happened?" and the replies went like this:Player 1: "Dude, I am SO sorry, really, totally sorry, SO SORRY that Pat has to tell you about it. I just can't say it"Player 2: "Man, we haven't seen that many 1's since college (inside joke, refers to a party-even longer story than this one), but I'll tell you, we did our best to hold our end up!"Player 3 (first player to leave): "Damn! Give, what really happened?"Player 1: "Dude, I can't even say, Pat has to tell you, it is his damn fault." (see below)Player 4 (left with P5 and P6): "Blast! You guys TPK'd without ME! BASTARDS! I'll tell XXX and XXXX to bring the BU's" (P5 and P6 generally didn't email until the day before the game: BU's-I ask players to have a back-up one level lower: another aside-P4 has the worst dice luck in the entire world, no, really)I didn't answer emails the whole week, the guys that weren't there brought their back-up characters. As for what was really my fault, P1 and I are good friends, we drank enough margaritas that he decided to call his wife to come pick him up. When they found out what the 1's really were, they laughed like hell and ordered me to make margaritas for everyone (yeah, we ended up playing a board game that afternoon). Rumor has it, I make good margaritas, I am okay with them, but still experimenting. Oddly, I always have volunteers for the new experiments.Has this gone far enough off track now?They have to be pulling your chain, I have never played with anyone that would change your character like that withour your input.Patrick, the thread derailer, thread killer, and, well, um, margarita maker I suppose ...</blockquote>
