[QUOTE="kamosa, post: 173554, member: 1037"] Ok, I don't know the player and I don't know you, but some of the things you've said lead me to believe that the player might have been having a problem before this game. It could be that he knew that he was walking into a bad situation and did so to force a social confrontation. He might have felt like "fine I'll just kill my character to show the DM how stupid he is being". Think back, have you had problems with this player before. Have they complained about your style of gaming or mocked a game theme. These things could be clues that the player wasn't happy long before he lead the party on an obvious sucide mission. Did you argue with him over rules? Is it your fault of his fault? Tough to say, it's probably just a styles difference. I've just seen situation like the one you described and they seldom were generated within one game session. Players, especially ones that fashion themselves as leaders of a group, take a while to piss off. They quietly sholder their anger until it boils over and they do something party destructive. In the end your probably better not gaming with him. [/QUOTE]
