I could say the same about myself or anyone else I know, though. My best friend picks his nose all the time, in front of everybody. I never have figured out a tactful way to point it out to him. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> StupidSmurf's friend-of-a-friend problem reminds me of our group, too. We know one guy who's constantly looking for a game. We used to play with him; in fact I played for over a year in a WHFRP campaign that he GM'd. But he's a flake. First off, for D&D he's firmly convinced that the best way to make a character is to take a level of rogue for the skill points, then a couple of levels of fighter for the feats, and then go into whatever class he really wants to play. He also likes to play oddballs who don't fit in with the rest of the party (drow, anyone?). And he just can't be relied on to show up regularly. So, like Smurf, we keep having to find ways to deflect his interest in our campaigns.We also used to have a player who cheated. His characters would have unusually high stats, and he seemed to roll crits just a little too often. On one occasion he went in the other room to lie down on the couch because he didn't feel well, and rolled his dice from there. He got 3 or 4 crits in a row. He seems to think gaming is a competitive endeavor, though I'm not quite sure what he's competing for. To be best at everything, I guess. And whatever we're doing isn't what he wants; if we're having lots of combat then he wants roleplaying, and if we're roleplaying then he wants hack 'n' slash. He's like this with almost everything he does. He used to play video games with us but after he started accusing other players of cheating on things that it's physically impossible to cheat on, or claiming that there was always something wrong with his controller, we stopped inviting him to video game night.</blockquote>
