[QUOTE="SiderisAnon, post: 3333210, member: 44949"] Worst: Player who once he had decided how something was supposed to be, not only couldn't consider any alternatives, but thought anyone who disagreed with him was obviously either crazy, stupid, trying to mess with him, or all three. His roleplaying alternated between being a jerk who tried to form his own party using NPCs to refusing to roleplay at all because his character wasn't someone who did that sort of thing. He also made sure everyone knew that his character could easily defeat their character. The second worst was someone who created childish characters who were constantly getting themselves into trouble, who once got his character killed at first level so he erased the name off the character sheet and wrote in the "brother's" name, and who couldn't manage to stop being condescending to female players. (I loved when he tried to explain dice to one of them and she turned and said quite loudly, "Yes, I know. I've been gaming with SiderisAnon for three years.") He finally got booted after he lost his temper and threw a character sheet at me -- one that was still in the folder. Best: This is between two players, but they both had the same great qualities. They created unique and interesting characters, roleplayed exceptionally well (including accents and mannerisms), and were great at getting the group to work together. Both are people that can have a slot in my game any day. Unfortunately, real world schedules don't allow. The runner up is a player/DM who is vastly entertaining because I can never figure out what he's up to. He's very intelligent and creative and you always know he's got something up his sleeve. I like a player who can keep me on my toes, even more so a DM who can do that. [/QUOTE]
