Now, that said...my wizard has 5 ships in play...2 modified corsairs, 2 modified briganteens, and 1 modified frigate. But he has far more than that...all told, he has 14 ships. Let's just call him John, the player in question I mean, has 5 HMS Victory's (Manowar gun ships) that he acquired...not threw game play, but by means of a back story. It is rather amusing that GMress Emmaly put him and me in the same clan in hopes I could educate him on the finer points, and rolled for him to encounter me as his first encounter. John had seen us playing at the game store. Figured he would pick the most powerful ship, not just one but 5 to start off.
We were both under the same flag (dragon clan pirate). He didn't understand the game mechanics, he panicked when I suddenly appeared behind his ship floating, in full dragon clan mage regalia, and feathered dragon on my shoulder, and said "Ship ahoy fellow dragon clansmen, might I board your vessel and speak to the captain, cook, and the supply officer?" I wanted to see if he needed anything or had anything to trade. He pulled a musket on me and fired. He rolled 20...so it made it past my armor of ithain. To which I responded by setting his sails ablaze and using my ring of teleportation to return to my ship and send faeries to um, shall we say "Have some fun."

In retrospect he probably didn't expect to be dealing with a then 9th level wizard, muchless one with 5 night elf faeries at his command, or a feathered mini dragon for his familiar whose nest is the crowsnest and she is the lookout. She can see for upto 2 miles, night vision upto 1500 feet...I will ask the GM to do a writeup on the feather dragons class a bit later. But the point is, I saw them before they saw me.
Then I explained why I'm launching the attack and Emmaly asks him again if he wants a do-over? At that point, instead of apologizing and asking for a do-over, he gets pissed at Emmaly and me for not pointing out that we were of the same clan. And we both laughed, and played back the video. He got pissed off even more and says that the video's been tampered with. Emmaly offers him a do-over for the 3rd time. But he just storms off in a huff. Leaving his stuff behind, and he then accuses Emmaly of theft and the store owner told the cops: he has his stuff there for him and exactly what happened. Even shows the them the videos. Then the guy claims he signed no release to be recorded. Sign on the door plus he did signed an agreement for the game to be taped and put on YouTube. However, she didn't upload that it to YouTube. She won't upload an unfinished game. So now he wants to finish the game. And we are like "Hell no". He has been banned from the game store for knocking over 3 gaming tables, and breaking a display case when another game didn't go as he wanted...his family has paid for everything.
But, YEAH...I'm happy to be moving. I want to hear what your difficult players have been.
