So, the team decide to interrogate a guy in their basement. The three doing the interrogating? A naga adept/hacker, an elven street sam with a combat biking contract (this is important), and an ex-Vory troll bouncer. They beat the guy senseless while asking questions, torture him for fun when they find out he really doesn't have the info they want; then end up stuffing him in a box and shipping him to somewhere in Asia, all while he's trapped in a simsense recording of the previous beatings and torture set to endless repeat. These are not nice people. I let my players do what they want, but they also know they will suffer the consequences.

Flash forward a month of game time and real time. I'm wrapping up this arc of my campaign, because I've decided to take a three month break, and decide to end on a massive cliffhanger. The street sam is recorded, 24/7 live broadcast, as part of his combat biking contract. He's followed around by a few flyspy cameras pretty much everywhere. Including the basement. While torturing that guy. Meaning that the entire thing was recorded and broadcast live on the Matrix for everyone to see and his sponsors reported it. The cliffhanger comes in the form of me narrating a pair of Knight Errant HTR teams storming the house where they're staying, arresting the team, then doing a fade-to-black.

For the next three months, all I hear is bitching from the troll's player about EVERYTHING. At first, it just starts as complaining that he didn't get a chance to fight back. It eventually escalates to the point where he is swearing that his character wouldn't do that and was nowhere near the house when it happened! While he's doing this, the rest of the group is continuously confirming that not only was he there, but it was his idea to torture the guy instead of just killing him outright (mailing him to Asia was the naga's idea). The rest of the team is okay with this cliffhanger, and the other two agree (out of character) that what they did was horrible and they should be punished.

But lo! I'm a nice GM and decide that for the opening mission of the new arc, we will replay the raid on the house to give the team a chance to fight back, even though we all know it will end with them being arrested. It's entirely for the benefit of the troll's player, so he will FINALLY shut up about it.

Along comes game time. Our elf mage, whose player was out on maternity leave when this originally went down, was out of the house and would be the group savior. Our drake adept is the first to fall, accepting the arrest peacefully since they stumbled upon her in the backyard doing Tai Chi as they were sneaking towards the back door. Then fall the gnome technomancer and the dwarf face as they are caught in the driveway, just after arriving home, by the team heading to the front entrance. Finally, the two HTR teams burst through both entrances, trapping the naga, the elf, and the troll in the living room. Roll for surprise, roll for initiative. Troll gets to act AND wins initiative. At this point, the table goes silent, waiting for the player to do what he's been itching to do for three months: fight back.

"I throw myself to the floor and point at the naga! 'It was all his fault!'"

My table goes absolutely fucking nuts. The five players who aren't the naga are screaming at the troll's player asking what the hell he's doing. They ream him for doing nothing but complaining for months on end and then being a chicken and trying to blame it on the naga. Some of the players are literally up out of their chairs ready to physically harm the troll's player. The naga's player is so pissed, he's silent. So, I do something I never do. I ignore the initiative order and let the naga act next.

The naga's player simply says that he coils up and strikes at the troll. Repeatedly. I'm so mad at this point, I rule that the troll can't dodge since he's facedown on the floor, hiding from the HTR teams. So, the naga adept gets to use all four of his IP striking, biting, and POISONING the troll. This continues for nearly THREE rounds because it is ALL the player does until his naga finally succumbs to stick-n-shock damage (part lucky rolls and part fudging from an obscenely pissed GM). The troll is dead something like four times over due to all of the bites and poison in his system, but being the nice GM I am (and by "nice," I mean "not wanting to listen to the troll's player bitch about a TK"), I tell the player that the HTR team was smart enough to bring anti-venom since they knew they'd be facing a naga and use it to stabilize him.

We officially recognized that he was cheating, not just suspected it, when it came time to roll his first skill check in his first GURPS game. According to him, it was a crit success and he was quick to brag about his natural 18 (on 3D6). Problem is, multiple people, including myself and the GM saw the 12 he rolled, and an 18 is actually a crit failure in the roll-low system that GURPS uses. Needless to say, he never rolled above a 5 the rest of the night. Of course, when I had pointed out the previous weekend that the chances of rolling four natural 20s in a row were 1:160,000 and the odds of doing it two sessions in a row were 1:25,600,000,000; his D20 seemed to see an awful lot more 18s and 19s. Had real life not gotten in the way, we probably would have asked him to leave shortly after that.
