[QUOTE="Silver Moon, post: 998161, member: 8530"] We had a similar problem during our second year, with a player first making inappropriate advances towards a female player and then later picking character-to-character fights to defend the female player's character at the silightest joke or comment. His character died during one of these fights, and the DM didn't let him roll up another one. He stopped coming, and we thought that was the end of it until 3 weeks later. That was when he showed up for a game. He was given a good aligned NPC cleric to play. At one point his cleric was hit with a spell that made him disoriented. The player used this as an opportunity to turn the NPC into a homicidal maniac who then tried to to kill the members of the party. After the party stopped him he had the character kill himself instead. After that game the player also damaged the car of one of the other players. We unanimously voted him out via phone conversations during the next week, then called him to let him known not to come to the games ever again. That was the last we heard of him until years later, when my engagement announcement was in the newspaper, me marrying the female player he was interested in. He sent her a long letter telling her she was making a mistake, and this was her one opportunity to come back to him instead. Made me glad that we had kicked him out when we did, given how unstable he seemed to be. Based on my experience, I would suggest that you rid yourself of this person ASAP. Let him know that he isn't welcome anymore. That is far better than waiting for him to come to a game again, and making matters worse for everyone. [/QUOTE]
