| Jun 30, 2016 at 13:51 | comment | added | Codeacula | @zespri You make a valid point. If they do decide they want this person in no matter what, then merus has it right, as does fectin's answer :) | |
| Jun 30, 2016 at 2:30 | comment | added | Merus | @zespri: this is an example of the Geek Social Fallacies; if a friend's not good for an activity, it's fallacious to assume that excluding them from this one activity is excluding them from everything. At this point, I'd use an ultimatum, as suggested: either the disruptive player goes, or the game ends. If your friends are suffering from the social exclusion fallacy, I'd exploit it: by choosing to tolerate the disruptive player, you're telling ME I have to get out. They can find other common ground with this person on which to base social activities. | |

The other group members would say "yes I do not enjoy the drama, but I cannot back you up on kicking him because he is my friend and I'm happy to keep tolerating him because telling him to get out is not what friends do". This means that the GM have to kick the person out single-handedly and become the only enemy. Is there a way to avoid this "social cost"? | |
