Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kichwas" data-source="post: 1378520" data-attributes="member: 891">They're assorted incidents over the years that have caused me to have a very poor opinion of my fellow gamer (sorry folks, but after what I've been through you have to earn it with me). There's several different people in the above, as well as multiple people having done some of these offenses at different points in time.None of those sorts of people are in my current batch - but everytime I do a recruitment phase for myself or am party to assisting someone else we always turn up one or more people like this. Our last case was the guy who sent the strange emails...roughly 40 of them per day, written as unusual poems composed of things he'd found by searching on my name with google and elsewhere. He'd break them up in mid word and send half to me, half to some of my players, and some random portion to other players. It looked really strange until we compared emails, at which point it looked scary. He only lasted three sessions with us, even though my instinct was telling me to lose him much earlier.Almost invariably, I get people like this when I get tired and relax my process of recruitment screening a little - so the lesson there is to be a hard-a** in how you recruit and never relax it one inch. It's better to have no players than to have players like I've seen. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
