True.  But, the decision isn't even questioned.  We send a General, an Ambassador and a Commander on a rescue mission to pick up a Captain?  Really?  But, of course, you're also ignoring the entire point of my little example.  Han Solo's player keeps everything secret, but, now wants the rest of the group to completely drop their own in-game responsibilities to rescue Han.  The only justification for it is really, Because Han has a PC halo.Because N'raac has spent considerable effort to tell us that he has no interest in spending time during character generation beyond the bare minimum to generate a character.  Without linked backstories, why would the characters want to travel together?  The whole random group of strangers meet at the Color/Animal Inn to receive a job isn't really a reason.  He might have a reason for adventuring with the rest.  But, there's no reason for them to keep adventuring with him and pretty good reasons to cut him loose.  Since there's no backstory actually tying the characters together, the only thing that really ties them is whatever goals they are pursuing at the moment.But, Bob's character has goals which are actively interfering with those goals that are tying the group together.  And the other players are not allowed to simply cut him loose because Bob's character has a PC halo.  They have no real ties, but, we're obligated to play out every complication brought to the table.I'm mostly reacting to N'raac's characterization that any playstyle other than his is obviously doomed to failure as one scene hog forces the rest of the group to play what he wants to play.  The problem I'm having here is that his Bob character is a scene hog who is forcing the rest of the group to play what he wants to play and doesn't even have to get the rest of the group to buy into it first.</blockquote>
