Well, I have no trouble beliveing that. It's one of the prime reasons I only game with people I like.My friend Theovis (who had posted here very infrequently) has a code: "I will not game with someone I wouldn't do anything else with"Perfectly sound resoning there. I was running a GURPS space advdnture at a Convention once and had a guy who (inexplicably in my opinion) decided his character would "Stay aboard ship and study engineering(?)"...yet insisted on constantly describing his actions with the rest of the group. I was constantly saying (to quote the Dead Alewives) "YOU'RE NOT THERE"I gave him every chance to leave the ship and join the group, and he never wanted to...but come an action scene he was all "I roll my fast draw". Sheesh.RightThat is a toughie. I went through this (it wasn't game related, it was Heroin related) with a guy who had been my friend for years. He started to pilfer small stuff from me, miss appointments with me, in fact he missed my wedding (he was to be a groomsman). I eventually had to ask myself "Is he my est friend? or was he my best friend 8 years ago?"I think most everyone has Joe. The best advice I can give you is that you don't have to share every activity with every friend you have. This guy doesn't like the other members of your gaming group, doesn't add anyting to game in your opinion, and actively works against the smooth running o the game.Talk to him about it would be my first advice, but you say you hae and the behaviour returns.My next advice is "think it over and make your own decision"Big help huh? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
