[QUOTE="Ralif Redhammer, post: 8752906, member: 30438"] I remember when I soft-booted a guy that had been the second player ever when I first started DMing. We'd been gaming together for about three years at that point, though we were still pretty young. Our gaming circle had just added two new players (one of which I am friends with to this day), and he became increasingly jealous of his place in the group. He would feud with other PCs, make elaborate plans on how he would kill other characters (and then, bizarrely, share them with the players of those characters). This all culminated in a real-life fistfight at school with one of the new players. We didn't stop gaming with him immediately at that point, but we gamed less and less with him until we just stopped inviting him entirely. He had been temperamental from the beginning - I can still remember when his character got to single HP in a battle and he tore his character sheet up and stormed off. These days, that would've probably been enough for me to give him his walking papers, but we were young and it was the 80s and you never knew if you would be able to find a replacement player. That group continued on, with a few people moving in and out as people's interests shifted (as they do with young teenagers), until my family moved to another state. I had enough advance warning to run sessions to give closure to most of the games that I was running. But that move signaled a pause of gaming for about four years in my life. [/QUOTE]
