Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kichwas" data-source="post: 990583" data-attributes="member: 891">I recently had the problem of a psychotic drug user who had some serious issues in my group.It started fairly innocent. A mutants and masterminds game and I wanted characters from everybody. I got them, only from him I got several different ones every day. At session one he kept rewriting his character during play to take on any ability he saw in play, or anything he found in the rules that he though could counter the current NPC.As I was busy, and to give a new person slack I just ignored it and assumed he'd settle down. But between session one and two I got over 4 new concepts, spread throughout some 40-80 emails, in one week.I started getting angry and told him to settle down and pick just one. He did and it was completely differen than the session one character. Well between sessions two and three it happened again and we had another completely new character.So in this mid period, I got home to volley of new ideas and put my foot down - no more new characters, you can only refine the current concept. He ignored it and kept at it. He started making threats and started sending them to the entire group. We soon realized this guy was not someone we wanted.That's when he tried to defend his actions by saying he'd been high at the previous sessions...Which in my book said right there he was out of my life on all counts.But he showed up the game anyway... I told him not to afterwards, and he started threatening me in emails sent to my entire group.Somehow we eventually got rid of him. I think what it took was when he started making phone calls to my players and they told to leave off... After that it all trickled down to only and email or two and finally went away.Sometimes with some people you have to be blunt, and then brace for the impact and hope your peers will stand with you - because there simply is no other option.</blockquote>
