[QUOTE="The Thayan Menace, post: 2487151, member: 18307"] [b]Worst Roleplayer ... EVER .... (a.k.a. Our First True Munchkin)[/b] We recently ejected a new player from our group after only one session. Somehow he managed to hijack the entire game and alienate himself from everyone else at the table. [COLOR=SandyBrown]In my 22 years of gaming, I have never dealt with such a blatantly obstinate individual.[/COLOR] He consistently argued with everyone, falsified his character sheets, rules-lawyered, and hogged the spotlight. Hell, I knew this guy was trouble after he came to our table with his necromancer PC ... when he knew full well that another player was already playing a necromancer. Yes ... this idiot purposefully upstaged someone else's specialized role within the party, and then he wondered why the other player was spending most of the session thinking of a new character concept instead of enjoying the game. Furthermore, this offensive player would often brag about how his character's henchmen were the best fighters in the party, essentially insulting two other players ... who had fighter-type PCs. To top it all off, he demanded a [I]full share[/I] of treasure for his henchman at the end of the adventure. This callous manuever triggered a player argument that lasted for nearly an hour. In my entire gaming career: [COLOR=SandyBrown]I have never seen one player manage to consistently piss off [I]everyone[/I] at the table. I have never had to give one player so many rulings, in order to limit his abuses. I have never played with such a rules rapist. I have never played with someone who was such a liar and a cheat.[/COLOR] Anyway, a player like this deserves special treatment .... So, after we booted him out, I made a poster to commemorate the occasion and distributed it to all my friends. :) [/QUOTE]
