[QUOTE="Elminster's Son, post: 2660541, member: 37391"] I've had two problem gamers I've had to deal with. Though most of my concerns were with their out of gaming tendencies. See I'm happily married to a beautiful woman of Italian descent and have three kids. Did I also mention she's a diehard gamer? :D This first one should go down in the Horror stories hall of fame. Well the first one just couldn't stop hitting on my wife. Making passes at her and flirting with her. At first it was when he thought I wasn't looking and was on a rare occassion. Which in some ways I guess I let go on because it made me feel lucky to be married to such a babe. *Sigh* BIG MISTAKE! Before the two of us knew it it progressed way out of hand. He began flirting with her openly in front of me. And even began to touch her in ways that made her feel quite uncomfortable. Well I'm all for a guy having chances. But this guy didn't learn his lesson. And must have had some serious issues. So I approached him calmly after my wife told me she was getting annoyed with him, and told him he had to shape up or ship out. He said he'd correct the err of his ways and clean his act up. And he certainly had me fooled, but thankfully he didn't have my cousin (who was living with me and my wife at the time, who I shall forthwith call Al) fooled for a minute. Since I'm active Army and Al was fresh out of the Army Rangers (Discharged within three months of this incident) we didn't feel anyone in the gaming group would try anything stupid. Boy were we wrong. Al found this guy cornering my wife in the kitchen and she was mumbling in Italian which she does when she's frightened or upset. Well Al confronted the guy and he pulls a knife! Well, Al makes short work of the guys arm. Picks up the phone and calls 911. Well, the rest of us were still in the living room waiting on the others when the police and ambulance showed up sirens blaring and lights flashing. Al calmly lets them in and explains the situation and my wife is hiding behind him glaring daggers at this guy. Before I knew what had happened they hauled him off to the hospital where he was gonna be treated and then arrested. Needless to say he wasn't allowed back. And my wife was quickly taught how to defend herself. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Story two, not as bad but equally insane. I created my own campaign setting and we all enjoyed it. Well apparently one of the guys wanted to find out what we had planned and tried looking on my laptop to find out. My wife walks in and catches him. She tells me and I ask him politely to leave. And he has the audacity to call my wife a liar! Well she smacked him and called him a dozen things that shall not be repeated, and he was shown the door physically. Other than that, I've rarily had issues that couldn't be fixed with a polite and private conversation with the individual in question. [/QUOTE]
