[QUOTE="malcolypse, post: 5234605, member: 92042"] and to date, probably the best player initiated plot destruction was in a star wars game, where the party were intended to be pirates. the characters were sent to deliver some jewels to a "friend" of the captain. on the way down to the planet, two party members playing mandalorian warriors convince another party member to negotiate a higher price, as they had decided that the captain was dishonorable and they should get their own ship and get into business for themselves. she blows the negotiation roll (since the price was set between the captain and his friend ahead of time, the chances of success were microscopic anyway) and is told by the friend that "batting your eyelashes won't work, you're not that cute," and orders his men to take the goods. she shoots him in the face and all heck breaks loose. the end result is that the friend and his men and their ship are slag, we have the jewels, the money they brought for the transfer, and bad news for our captain. on the way back to the ship, one of the mandalorians gets on the comm and tells the captain what went down. the captain orders him to execute the negotiator. the mandy says, "I thought you might say that," pulls a little box out of his belt and pushes a button which sets off the explosives he hid in the main ship's engine room before we left (we had wondered what he had taken the storyteller away for at the beginning of the night). we jump into lightspeed and out of the st's plotline forever. good times.
