It's a bigger pain because I like to use romance as a method to drive things. There is a lot you can do with a relationship in a game! It doesn't even have to be SOOO ROMANTIC or anything! And it CERTAINLY doesn't have to take a nose-bleeding center stage.
It's a pain for me, because the particular player identifies as a follower, but really doesn't act it. I don't think the GM should be that surprised that often. Personal opinion.
I don't think you should punish your less dysfunctional players for these horrible bastards. If you find a new group, maybe you can bring them along for the ride.
Off topic, if your in need of an online player I could take a peek, I won't be able to be so active till the end of the semester though.
I'm in the middle of a hiatus just now. But, once I haul my brain back together (Interchangeable Personality Barbie REALLY sucks it out of me) I'll see about hauling something together. PM me if you've got AIM, I can keep you in the loop.
I should have clarified. I bludgeon the dysfunctional players, and hope the less-dysfunctional ones step up while the dysfunctional ones are down. It happened once, it was pretty awesome.
A distant relative, notable in that they don't care about human or animal casualties as much as they care about universal casualties. Which is to say, the population of the world might just survive, while the world itself will not.
Armageddon wasn't as lethal as everybody thought it would be.
Part of me wants to leave it there as a kind of demented noodle implement.
Instead of the standard Fire and Brimstone, he just wanted to push buttons and see what changes happened, and then be one of the very few not-so-traumatized survivors. Tearing out all the "normal" in the world was ill-advised.
Oh my GOD. I hear stories like these all the time and I am thankful to never personally experienced one. I say either kick them to the curb if you have the power, and if you don't high-tail it outta there. Those kinds of power-players are serious fun-sucks for everybody. D:
That's probably not a fantastic idea, speaking of someone who got left out of a Pathfinder loop by some good friends for sucking at being a tabletop newb (metagamed, short attention span, could not shed lingering sense of shame). If you wanna drop them, and if they are generally otherwise pretty cool guys, maybe talking/hugging it out would help? Going behind their backs about it might just create pointless and maybe avoidable drama.
(or maybe they'll secretly and silently resent you for weeks after)

Your choice of music just makes matters better. I wish more people knew of Dragontown (and Brutal Planet), even though that's kinda off-topic.

I love Alice Cooper, and selected this song as my image song some time ago. :X There is probably something wrong with me.

No, no, not really. It's Alice Cooper, after all.

Alice Cooper is the soundtrack of megalomania. If you ever want to know what it feels like to have that actual clinical mania, he's a great start.

I'll figure it out. Probably just leave them out of the loop next time.
