[QUOTE="d4, post: 1129132, member: 12699"] i agree with Marimmar that negative XP punishments don't work. i had one group where some of the players were consistently late. i always sent out an email a day or two before every game as a reminder: "We are playing this Sunday, at noon..." and yet three-quarters of them wouldn't show up until one or one-thirty... so i eventually had to resort to: "We are playing this Sunday, at noon. anyone who arrives before noon receives a +10% XP bonus." everyone showed up by 11:59. :D rewards, not punishments, is often the best way to change behavior. don't punish what you [i]don't[/i] want to see; reward what you [i]do[/i] want to see.
