Then "the couple" happened.Met them though the message board at the FLGS.He was a fan of D&D wanting to get back in the game. She was an anime and fantasy literature fan who was just starting.She was a good player. Being a bit inexperienced with the game, I had to work with her a bit to get the character that she wanted. But she was enthusiastic and creative and was a good addition to the group.He was not.He would play dice games if the time between turns was too long.He would accuse others of cheating and play "dice monitor".He would get in political arguments at the drop of a hat.He would get all whiny if he felt like anyone's character was better than him (he even beleived that sneak attack was overpowered.)I hated to lose her as a player. But there was no way I could keep her and boot him. And he had to go.I don't do this "move the game and don't tell them" business. I don't like confrontation, but I dropped them an email letting them know that they were no longer invited.I never heard from him again.She, on the other hand, took it really hard. She wrote us emails about how horrible I was to turn away her friendship, what cheaters and "meanies" (not the actual term) we were. Sigh.</blockquote>
