He also had a penchant for finding all the loopholes in the rules that made for horrible brokenation--and he admitted more than once that he took great pleasure in seeing exactly how far he could break any given rule.  He also played his characters like royal jerks, and eventually started getting on the other players' nerves. During one session when he snapped the necks of a couple npc's (in a campaign that was neutral to good slanted--no evils allowed) against npcs that were either helpless or who had done nothing to harm them.  I confronted him.  He basically told me to blow off and that I couldn't tell him how to run his character (I was DM).  When other players brought up the same concerns, he said "tough nuggies" (well, not really, but you get the drift).  He left after I basically told him that he was being an unreasonable jerk, and it was getting old.3-- Younger player who's maturity was in question from the get go.  I told him it wasn't going to work out after the first session.  He had a bit of a spasm. *shrugs*, but complied.4--Player who had a bit of a scary fondness for some bizarre and disturbing character concepts.  The player himself gave us all some weird vibes.  Also, his characters were all Rogues who basically hung back and did nothing . . . . from a safe distance.  We reconvened the group on a different day. . . . so that he could really do nothing, a safe distance from us.5--and yes, the token poor hygiene player.  He was the roommate of one of the other players.  I'd try to describe his funkyness, but words fail me.  He used gaming to unleash his own twisted fetishes upon us, and attack (verbally) and belittle players he saw as quiet and easy targets. Yeah, not worth the effort to give the talk to . . . . reconvened on another day, and not too worried if he found out.</blockquote>
