Need advice-getting rid of a player

[blackshirt5]

I've gotta kind of agree with Larry; how old is your current GM, and what is this guy doing that he is being "creepy" to your GM?

Problem Solved

Give me his e-mail.

16 pigs will consume a human body weighing 200 lbs in about 8 min. Know anyone with a pig farm?

LOL

- Explain your feeling
- Let him a chance
- Fire him if he doesn't !

This one's simple: Take up something that looks like it will keep you busy IRL. Then disband the entire group.

Wait a month.

Reform the group. Don't tell him about it. If he ever notices, innocently act like you had forgotten about him, as he wasn't the most memorable, and now your group is in mid campaign and has no openings, better luck next time, yaddayadda.

Concerning the pig idea, there's a pig farmer near Vancouver that is thought to have killed many (14?) prostitutes, and then fed them to the pigs. I think the investigation is still ongoing.

There are some pretty sick people in the world

Anyways, back to the current problem though. It's annoying enough when a non-gamer shows up for a session, but when combined with rude/inappropriate comments from both of them, I can see why you'd want him gone.

So WHAT has he done? I mean, I'm considered rather creepy sometimes, even by close friends...

Tell us more about the whole thing, otherwise, there is no way we can be fair about this whole thing - unless of cause, you don't want fairness...

Speaking from experience, getting rid of a player is never nice or easy. My group once acepted a new player into it even though we had no opening at the time. He begged and begged to be let in so we let him eventually. After a few sessions it became clear that he didn't really fit in very well, he tried to get 100% attention from the DM and got into arguments with other players. It was at that time that we decided to kick him. It's very important to to stand together in this situation, otherwise you'll have no fun game anymore.

We told him about it outside of the game and a lot of arguments and bad feelings later we had our fun game back. We felt guilty for some time but in the end it was better for the rest of us and shurely built our 'real' characters.

BTW, I don't know if you got a dayjob but let me tell you that you stop feeling bad about losing people you know when your company fires your colleagues left and right of you just to survive. After a while you're just happy they didn't fire you and new people will eventually replace the ones you lost.

So my advice is, meet with him on neutral ground, tell him to buzz off in a friendly manner and be done with it. Just make shure your fellow gamers support you. If they are weak of heart, tell them to simply nod silently when the 'kicked-one' asks them if they want him gone too. Someone has to do the dirty work.

this sounds exactly like someone i used to game with... tell me do u guys game in Dana Point, Ca.

Cus that would be way way wierd.

Here is what i would do. As the GM, the youngest player will no longer protect him from verbal abuse... I think that the GM should, very descreetly, kill of his player. Of course, before that sesion, and a couple others in advance, tell your entire group that the group will be finalized, mainly because bad attendance is begining to take its toll on the modual, and that anyone who misses or dies is out, permanently. It is not anything personal, and you can always come back for... another campain... or something.

Basically, buy a DM screen, so that the rolls are hidden, and better yet, dont fuge a single roll, just choose your targets more effectively. Another thing that you may wish do do when taking this route is make sure that he cant be rezed, and also dont make it unreasonably cheap. Make it a rather large encounter, where the chance of success is not so good. An ambush with some sick villian is always a good way to do it. Suprise them with a massive encounter, a purple worm drops from the seeling of the underdark cavern... yadayadadayda this worked for me and my group, and nobody really thought much of it, even the guy who was ousted.

Im also wondering what makes this guy so creepy... does he have child porn jokes, or some sick shlt like that? what can he possibly do or say to "offend" the group like so. and make sure u guys have either a backup player to take his spot, or some NPC who can fill the gap of power. depending on what class he is, it could really hinder the groups progress.

Mostly inappropriate comments directed towards the daughter of one of our other members. Up till now most of us had not caught the comments, but there is one other who has. I don't remember it starting out bad, but after his last two girlfriends, it has gotten to the point that everyone else in the group has noticed it.

 

[blackshirt5]

And how old is he? How old is the daughter? How old are you guys?
