[QUOTE="StupidSmurf, post: 2651542, member: 35893"] The thread "Unpolite and Happy About It" made me wonder just how many rude/obnoxious gamers we've all encountered in our games before. So, I throw the question open to everyone. Have you ever dealt with a nightmare player whose behavior was just outrageous and/or bad? Get it off your chest, vent a bit, and share your worst player stories. Hopefully, most of them end with "....so we tossed the jerk out...." ;) And here's my nightmare story. One of them, anyway. More to follow later, maybe! ;) It's always a tricky thing when someone you invite into the game asks if they can bring in someone as well. At least, if you're inviting someone, you know them ahead of time (as a rule). But when you get to FOAFs (Friend Of A Friend), it becomes a crap shoot. Emphasis on "crap". Anyways, one of our gamers wanted to bring a friend in. OK, no prob. I'm a believer in "the more the merrier," and my wife and I try to be good hosts. This guy, who I'll call Crappy McCrapface in order to protect his identity, got off on the wrong foot literally from the first hour he walked in the door. Early Conversation: Crappy (looking at my wife and my joint book collection) Oh wow...do you guys worship The Goddess? Me: Um...no, actually. We just like to be well read. I'm actually a Christian. Crappy: Oh. They have 12-step programs for that, you know... Me: .............. Crappy also was one of these guys whose character had to be radically different than everyone else's. He also enjoyed playing characters...his, those of other people, you name it. Yes, one of those. One of those eager hoseheads who basically start announcing other people's actions for them. And then the crowning turd on the pile: He started developing just WAY too much an interest in my teenaged daughter. To the point where others began noticing it, and my daughter's two honorary uncles were ready to take him outside and beat him soundly. He lasted about a half-dozen sessions. He was then let go. :) [/QUOTE]
