Players of goofball characters, being less invested in survival, may not. If they want to goof-off in front of the terrifying horde or BBEG, so be it... but they had best be prepared for the consequences. | |

Because of the dementation most players tend to be as close to a schizophrenic version of the Joker from Dark Knight. Instead of reposting the same ideas as above, see above. Never be afraid of the "God Smack" when a player is out of line | |

If he repeatedly derails campaigns by being a goofball, they're perfectly allowed to ask him to either stop being a disruptive twit or stop coming to the sessions. | |
