[QUOTE="Helldritch, post: 8058403, member: 6855114"] Yep, it happened once, and it was in very specific circumstances. That man should've been a politician or a salesman. He is really good to convince other people to see things his way. Not working on me though. He is a childhood friend. We did not know at the time but he was about to divorce and he was bringing his problems at his work (which he nearly lost), at our games and just about everywhere. We knew he had problems. We tried to talk to him to know what was going on, but he was (and still is) also quite the machoman... Fortunately, we are still friends, it's a game after all. But with the player backlog that wanted in; he and my other friends were at the bottom and I had no places for a third, fourth and fifth group (even today, if I wanted, I could make about 1 group of 6 players for each day of the week. If the hobby was a work, I'd be on burn out in no time...). We were 33 years old at that time. He was in distress and did not wanted to admit it. Fortunately, it's all behind us now. They're playing with me again along with an other group (former students of mine). So everything is ok. Edit: And I have an excellent memory...
