[QUOTE="bloodtide, post: 9646676, member: 6684958"] Yes. Though really they can do so anytime that is not game time. I don't waste game time. For a great many players the idea that they have two 'active' characters at the same time is some sort of taboo. I found it to work out great. First, the problem players often don't even TRY their dumb ideas. They know I will say no and that they won't be able to ruin the game for an hour with their dumb explanation. Too many DMs are weak and after a player(s) waste 10-20-30 or more minutes arguing the weak DM will just say "okay player you win" just to be able to play the game again. Second, it does defeat the jerk players that are just there to disrupt the game. Third, amazing a lot of the problem players don't think it is a big enough deal to talk about outside the game. They LOVE to ruin a game in progress with their beyond stupid argument, but it's not so important otherwise. [/QUOTE]
