[QUOTE="Goddess FallenAngel, post: 2467251, member: 11434"] Hrm... let's see... First: There was a player - we'll call him M - who's paladin got into a fistfight with the party's mage. The mage had cast Aggie's Scorcher at an enemy - who promptly went behind the line of prisoners we were transporting back to town (on the paladin's request), killing two of them (because you couldn't dismiss the spell right away, and it automatically drew a line of fire in all the area between caster and target). Basically, the 'prisoners' were part of an orc horde that had raped and pillaged several human towns in the area, leaving no survivors. The party was after them for the bounty; which required only the heads. The paladin decided they needed to be brought back to town to stand trial first - not a totally unreasonable attitude, even though everyone knew that they were just going to be killed there instead of here. Anyway, when the paladin attacked the mage, the M and the mage's player got into a huge OOC argument about it (although not as bad as the one that happened between him and I later). The argument took [b]4 hours[/b] real time. They refused to listen to either us or the DM when we tried to break it up. The group in general rather lost interest in the campaign after that. Second: I and M were having an in-character argument between my LN monk and his CN ranger, when suddenly he burst out with, "You're a ******* freak, that's why you're playing Lawful Neutral wrong!" There was a very brief stunned silence as the group realized that M had taken the IC argument OOC [b]with a personal insult[/b]. Unfortunately, I have a terrible temper (believe what they say about redheads). I snapped and started screaming back at him, which pretty much ended that game session right there as M's wife and my boyfriend tried to keep us from each other's throats. Basically, because I wasn't RPing LN the way [b]he[/b] would, I was a freak. WTF? We actually played several more games of that campaign before time constraints on the DM caused him to cancel the game. Those game sessions were minus M, though - who unfortunately happened to be one of my roommates. There was a very tense atmosphere in the house for a month or so. [/QUOTE]
