If one player wants to screw over the others, then it's time to drag out a board game like Battletech, or start a multiplayer Magic the Gathering game, or at least a one-shot Arena-style D&D game, instead of throwing continuity out the window when players can't even work together.I have not once experience a good result from a Player vs. Player killing and looting.</blockquote>
