[QUOTE="iserith, post: 6644844, member: 97077"] Is the player actually using this inside information to make the game experience worse for everyone else? Or does it just bother you on some level? The reason I ask is because I know I am capable of knowing everything there is to know about a published adventure and still not use the information in a way that ruins the game experience for everyone else. I also have a lot of one-shot adventures that I run for pick-up groups and I have regular players that will jump in and play them more than once (sometimes multiple times). I've had no problem with them doing that because they, too, only use the information they have to make the adventure better. (Typically they're in it to approach the adventure a different way they did previously to see how that changes the emergent story or to see how other people do things compared to their first time.) In any case, if it's bothersome to you or others and ruining your game experience, just talk to the player outside the context of the game directly and politely and ask for his or her help in rectifying the situation to everyone's mutual satisfaction. If you can't find a compromise, then perhaps it's best to part ways. [/QUOTE]
