[QUOTE="DonTadow, post: 2798156, member: 22622"] Well thought I'd give an update on what happened. During that week, after the thread, I decided not to talk to her again about it. Two days later, on my forum, the player left a sarcastic comment insulting a favorite NPC of the older party members. Three of them emailed me and talked about how frustrated they were with the person. The general consensus was that she commented not really knowing or observing the facts of the mystery. Her suspicsiouns were just, but the way she worded it made her seem as though she was being sarcastic and insulting to the other players. As previously stated, I've been use to blowing off some of her minor offenses for the love of the group and game, and this time i sent her a more detailed email. I explained to her that several players were upset with her last remark, and her previous decisons and i recommended that she should take a little more time and review her actions before she does them because some may see them as offensive. She sent me an apology (as usual) and wrote another message on the board that was a (i'm sorry but) type of apology. I called her, and told her that she didnt have to send an email, or apogize to anyone. Just try to be civil to the other players. The next day it was a change, she wrote some real positive stuff on the board and reformed her wording so it was helpful instead of sarcastic. I assumed all was good. That Sunday she didn't show up at all. Her husband was there, but he now had to leave two hours earlier. (i'm guessing his punishment). Thsi Sunday she didnt show up. After game i got an email with her officially withdrawing from the campaign. Sad thing is, I thought everything was good and at a point where at least for the times everyone was getting along. I wrote some more stuff up for her character and everything. I even had some feats she could have tried to help her be more useful in combat. Oh well. Alls well that ends well. [/QUOTE]
