[QUOTE="Queen_Dopplepopolis, post: 2581381, member: 14323"] We had a player that was very similar... well... she seemed to enjoy combat, but when it came to RPing it was just constant drama. Our characters couldn't have secrets, anything your character said was taken personally... I talked to her, the DM talked to her - nothing solved the problems. Eventually she spearheaded a movement with two other players that resulted in all three of them leaving the group. It was incredibly depressing and highly annoying. We were friends and our friendship was ruined by her inability to take the game less seriously when it came to the role playing aspect. The only thing I can tell you is to have a talk to her about how seriously she takes in game conversations. She's got to take a step back and realize that it's not meant to be anything but a game... if she still gets upset if characters have secrets or feels she needs to "cool down" it's obviously crossed a line and is no longer "just a game."
