I had a crazy lolbert coworker once who explicitly said several times he didn’t like unions when one of our offices was trying to unionize. Then, upper management was asking him to take time off from the field to go to union busting training and exercises, and he explicitly told them he wouldn’t do it because doing union busting wasn’t his job, and it would be a waste of money and time that could be spent helping clients. Then later we’re out in the field, and he gets a phone call. They’re giving him the ultimatum of doing the union busting or being demoted. He takes the demotion and we get back to work. Come the next morning, he’s gone. They demanded he drive back to the office and turn in the work truck that night and fired him.
Guess who then started texting every single one of us pro-union info and got us the teamsters contact info lol

>>98126772
The funniest part is he was one of the best coworkers I’ve ever had in my life and always got the job done. Everybody liked him.
You’d also know from a 5 minute convo with the guy he was a big libertarian and didn’t like unions, so he obviously wouldn’t have supported a union drive otherwise.

If you aren't inconvenienced, you wouldn't give a shit about the data center until it actively shits up your life with its power draw and water consumption. You will try and protest then, but your mayor will shrug their shoulders and say it's already here and you should have protested before it was being built.
But you didn't. You let the guy protesting get his head chainsawed off.

I've dealt with many a player like this, and the approach to each has been different because people aren't a monolith, but sometimes you just have to kick 'em.
I try to refrain from that kind of shit myself, I'm if anything afraid to hard commit to shitty character behavior that rocks the boat and upsets people too much in a genuine way (but I'm also the kind of person who can't stand making NPCs sad in TTRPGs/video games, too, so being evil/a rip-roaring dipshit usually makes me feel bad)

>>98122806
This comparison is only viable if it was someone else who chose for the player, what character the player should play. No one is forced to play a character that sabotages the group effort.

>>98111437
Tb h you can just let the other players deal with it. When their PCs lynch the saboteur PC the player has no right to kvetch about it.

>>98112389
I will extend the olive branch in that the style of play certainly existed and was popular, as evidenced by D&D becoming less lethal to PCs over the course of its editions to facilitate that level of foolhardiness. Back before the rise of the OSR, that was all anyone around here knew about pre 2e: it's the one that fucking mulches characters. To go back to old editions today and attempt to run them as straight hack-and-slash when there are no less than 5.5 editions and countless other systems that do it better is, bluntly, playing the game wrong. THE thing pre-AD&D does that later editions do not is challenge the players' creative thinking over their characters' stat blocks. It is, at its core, a game of risk management, and the comparative death rate between a reckless party and a cautious party tells which one is correct, and they will most likely be having more fun with it, too.
An umpired historical wargame campaign is not a 40k match. It is an environment that demands long-term planning, preparation, and knowing when to cut losses to avoid destruction. THAT is the wargaming origin of D&D.

Combat in OSR is explicitly a fail state.
Just for reference, fail state isn't the same as losing:
>A fail state generally refers to a condition in a game or political simulation where a player or leader has failed to achieve their objectives, resulting in a negative outcome that often prevents further progression or success.

You failed to find a better or more beneficial solution to the encounter and the negative outcome is that you're now engaged in combat, which is risky, resource intensive and likely to mean you don't get as far going forward before you have to retreat, rest and recharge.

To give an example, in a game I was running the players were exploring a lost city that belonged to a tribe of lizardfolk as part of a job they'd agreed to do for some locals, rescuing a bunch of hostages taken as slaves by a cult:
They encountered four different factions, all of which were incredibly dangerous
>Troglodytes: The degenerate local guardians who only come out at night and are hostile to all non-lizards
>Angry lizard ghosts of the recently slaughtered inhabitants, who had been attacked and killed by followers of a Sun God cult
>Sun God Cult who were now trapped in the largest temple by the angry ghosts
>A big fuckoff lizard, sacred to the locals, which emerged at random times to eat anything in its path

First group they meet is the ghosts who they notice by observing from a distance, finding animals drained of their life force close to the city, ect.
So they decide to only move by day and carry a small shrine with protection from undead cast on it, letting them set up a base in the city limits which they can retreat to come night.

Only for the non-sentient undead to attack the Troglodytes by jumping them from behind.
Now, the natural thing to do here would be to let the Troglodytes die and laugh from behind the protection circle. But my players are a bit smarter than that, they have their lizardfolk guide call out to the leader of the Troglodyte raiding party and tell him that they can come inside the circle to parlay.
The Troglodytes accept and the entire crew spends a very long, smelly, uncomfortable night getting to know each other and come to appreciate they've got a common enemy. They warn the players about the big lizard and the sun cult then invite them to come meet their chieftain directly.
Party accepts, and after some hashing about they find out there's an underground entrance into the temple the sun cult are in, the Troglodytes as a whole are no longer hostile to them and even get some Troglodytes who are happy to join the crew.
They scout out the sun cult that night, planning to kill them to a man from the start since fuck the sun cult.
But what they realize during their scouting is the sun cult have lost their most powerful members to some kind of whacky fuckery involving a trap in the temple and therefore lack the priestly power to escape the hordes of undead outside.

Now, if not for the hostages they would probably just take their food and leave them to their fate.
Instead they sneak in, find that some of the troops with the Sun cult aren't true believers but rather tribal warriors who are none-too-pleased about being led to their deaths like this. They help kill the leader of the tribal auxiliaries and replace him with someone more amiable who acts as their man on the inside, moving the hostages to somewhere out the way of the fight to come. They then attack and work their way through the cultists.

They do run into another problem in the temple when they accidentally unleash a chaos beast and this is pure combat as a fail state since their only options are "Shit-shit-fuck-fuck, find somewhere we've got a terrain advantage then form a kill wall and bait it into it. Oh god it turned Kev inside out. Ahhh!" or run away and abandon the place entirely, maybe leaving the hostages behind even if they can't get to them quick enough (They absolutely had time to bring the hostages out before this mind you, they just didn't because they were too focused on clean up. They had other, better options and failed to exercise them)

Finally they deal with the local undead, who they now know are led by the murdered priesthood of the temple, which they do by going to where the undead are lurking and throwing the heads of the sun priests at their feet before going "We cool right?"

Turns out they are indeed cool as fuck after that and the undead priests even offer them work going to the nearby lizardfolk tribe, killing the usurper currently leading it and the sun priests who supported him, which nets them both safe travel through the city, as well as a banging artefact from the deep catacombs of the lizardfolk (A sentient weapon)

Keep in mind they left behind a shitload of treasure, the catacombs were a whole thing in and of themselves that they only visited in terms of "The Lizardfolk guide gets permission from the priests to go pick up a single item" when the place was a trove waiting to be plundered.
But they met their objectives and more, the main one being "Find the hostages and bring them home alive" without unnecessary risk to themselves.
Everything else was just gravy, and the dungeon was filled with allies, safe locations and less dangerous (if less monetarily rewarding) because of how they approached it.

All because they went in with the mindset of "Combat is the last argument of Kings, not the first."

You see the difference it makes?
