Mean People Suck
I’m not playing in the Friday game anymore. Two of the other players decided that rather than talk to me about some problem they had with me, they were just going to keep killing my characters in a nasty and obvious way until I decided to quit. Until they got the idea to talk to the GM, and have him break the news to me on their behalf. (About which he was not happy.) So I’m not exactly kicked out, per se, but it isn’t going to be fun for anyone–least of all me–if I do continue to show up. The worst bit is that as far as I’m concerned, this is totally out of the blue. I thought I was getting along fine with them–it’s not like these two actually said anything to me; I don’t even know if their problem is with me or my characters. Nor do they care to discuss it, apparently. Granted, I haven’t been at my most cheerful in recent months, but I don’t I’m significantly more annoying than anyone else, and one of the two individuals in question is damned annoying when he gets going.

Grrrrr. Probably just as well you aren’t naming names, as I’d be tempted to express a few well-honed words on your behalf to the individuals in question. I’m sorry, Lady.

Bummer. Been there, had that done to me, don’t want the T-shirt, thank you. May you find a better game soonest.

How terrible. You deserve better than that.
I don’t understand why the GM doesn’t kick the two troublemakers out of the game. That’s junior high stuff and I wouldn’t put up with it from players I GMed for.

I don’t understand why the GM puts up with it either, especially as this is the second time that one of the two has done this in the same group. Probably because he’s a lot more patient than I am. He is definitely Not Happy about it, though, and I know at least one other player isn’t, either. What really bums me out is that the GM, his wife, and the other players are lontime friends whom I really don’t see outside of gaming.
