[QUOTE="Chimera, post: 1662783, member: 2002"] Assuming you're asking me... He showed up at my house one day out of the blue, assuming we were playing that day. No idea where he got that idea. I sat down with him and said, "I'm sorry to tell you, but I wasn't planning to invite you anymore." Then talked about how he didn't seem to be interested in playing the game, but just wanted to socialize. How he didn't even pay attention until it was time for him to roll his dice. He insisted that he wanted to play on one hand while on the other hand insisting that he also came to socialize with the others because he didn't see them very often. I didn't bring up the cheating and the drinking until after he started to get angry and defensive. He swore up and down that he never cheated and nothing I said made a dent in that conviction. And on and on and on. Just a hopeless conversation with someone in complete denial. Six months earlier, I was getting frustrated with all the socializing and drinking during the game, having a hard time putting so much effort into GMing when no one payed attention or cared about the game. (Keep in mind that everyone told me I was a great GM, so it wasn't unhappiness with my GMing skills, or so they claimed.) So I had gone to the group with two options: A> We stop socializing and actually play the game. B> We stop playing D&D. I host a Casual Game Day once a month where everyone can come over, drink up a storm, play various other games and socialize to beat the band. Five players chose A. One chose B. The player who chose B had the integrity to leave the game group of his own accord when he was outvoted, and I respect him for that. The guy above had voted to play the game. I gave him six months to actually do that and he didn't. Ok, goodbye. [/QUOTE]
