Just say Simple "Unfortunatley I find your out of game talk a little distarcting I would appreciate you not doing it anymore." Polite and direct. If it continues go to step two remind her in game that you are running and a game and please hold outside conversations till after the game or during a break. After that just ask her to leave. There is a certain amount of politeness but no reason to be walked over becuase someone else has no respect for you. I handled mine differently becuase of the group I have. I told them I didn't want extra comments or talking about other games. I give one warning then dock Xp after that. I have only docked XP like once or twice. The reason I dock XP for some reason this seems to work. They are hurting the game and it is my way of showing that I don't appreciate it. It is also a hamrless way of saying Hey your upsetting me so stop before I really become upset. I have become upset once at them and shut down the game for 3-4 months becuase they crossed the line since we started back they have been nothing but polite realizing respect goes both ways. Hope it helps the most important things to remember apply to all conflicts. Put your self in thier shoes (The fact may be that their shoes are wrong as they are), Be polite until you no longer can be polite (Ie sometimes yelling solves a problem but only as a last resort) and Be firm. Wish-washy fails everytime. No relationship built on spinelessness involves respect.Later</blockquote>
