[QUOTE="SableWyvern, post: 44317, member: 1008"] I've had three sulkers in my time. Two weren't respected enough by the group to even remotely threaten camapaign dissollution, and one of those two was sulking in a Paranoia session (What? He didn't expect to have the Team Leader demand that the registered mutant take point? He didn't expect to be shot on sight by Vulture Troopers? He didn't expect to be taken advantage of in every way by more experienced players? He didn't even expect to die when he refered to me by my real name?) - so I just got nastier and killed him more. He came round by his last clone. The third occured when we were in our relatively early years (average age probably about 16), and the player concerned had lost around a character every two months for about three years. While quite a few of these deaths were his fault, I must admit I was well known as a killer DM at the time, and killing this particular player's characters had become second nature to me. He sulked for about 20 minutes, claimed he would never play again, and then rolled 2 or 3 100s for stats (with a plethora of 90s) for his next character. Thus, the mighty Alron Storm was born, whose name will be remembered longest of all the PCs ever to adventure in my campaigns. And one day, perhaps, this player will come up with a plan to free his most beloved character ever from the depths of the Abyss. :) [/QUOTE]
