[QUOTE="Steverooo, post: 1050767, member: 9410"] [b]Players from... Earth Question:[/b] I'll skip the horror stories and keep it short, because I have a question... I have seen this, twice, and in one case, *I* was the "problem player". Twice, now, I have seen an online game, where the PCs didn't seem to know what to do. In each case, there was one "headless chicken" player, running about all over, trying everything. In each case, the "do nothing" PCs seem to gang up on the ones trying to [I]do[/I] something, until they leave. After that, the game grinds to a halt, as no one does much of anything, and players eventually quit. Is this unique to me, to online gaming, or does this occur in Table-top, face-to-face play, too? I have bever seen it, in "real life". What is your experience? The first time I saw this, I was running the game. The second time, I was playing the mystery-solver... By the time we got to the first combat, two PCs had quit, and I was the third. Funniest line after that was: "Where are we supposed to be going, next? It's been so long, I've forgotten." (None of the other players bothered taking notes on all the questions my "pesky PC" was asking!) [/QUOTE]
