I have a certain problem player that always tries to come up with new and exciting ways to screw the system, thus ruining the experience for my other runners. For him, it's not about playing the game, it's about being as uber as possible.
How do you other GM's deal with these problem people? His spell idea: (I'm not going to copy+paste the whole e-mail as it's way too long) Liquid Form Type: P ~ Range: T ~ Duration: S ~ DV: (F / 2) + 1 Pretty much exactly as it sounds. He got the idea from the "Turn to Goo" spell, which has a DV of (F / 2) +2. In liquid form you can move on walls and ceilings, force your way through small cracks and escape any bond. You can also use the "Engulf" critter power. Now I don't need ideas on how to deal with this spell, as I've already got it worked out. But this is a pretty good example of the crap he tries to pull. We've been going back and force about this liquid form spell for about a week now and it's getting old. Is there any decent way of just getting him to shut up? |
