come to think about it, the last player who argued about being docked xp- shortly after that his character walked into a wandering portal and hasn't been since.

Well, one player in particulare was just outlandish. I don't recall the specifics, but it was on the order of "I shoot the Prime Minister in the face" while attending a state dinner.
"Why? There's no provocation."
"I think he's the bad guy."
"How...how would you even know there is a bad guy? We just started!"
"There's always a bad guy."
"Yes, in a game world! But your character doesn't think he lives in a game world! He thinks this is real life! In real life you don't shoot important people on the off chance that later he might turn out to be your enemy!"
"Well, my character has a particular view of reality that blah blah blah blah blah blah..."
"The Secret Service shoots you in the face."

Okay, so DC's Countdown to Final Crisis, or whatever the official title is for the weekly title that just ended this week, was a giant WASTE of paper, ink, and my time and money.
OTOH, the best DC title that I hadn't been reading but am now? The current iteration of Blue Beetle. Good stuff, yo.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Yeah. DC's doing a fair amount good right now, but that wasn't it. That being said, "Booster Gold" is rocking hard, as is "Green Lantern." "The Atom" is suffering a bit without Gail Simone, but still in striking range of regaining its greatness.
Evidently, the way to survive the big two comic companies these days is to ignore the crossover bits completely.

It is one of the few I will mis when I kill my box. It's been AWESOME.

I'm up through #13 or #14 -- the Mother box one. So. Good.
t edit Another title I'm loving is a Vertigo title -- "Vinyl Underground." They're only up to #6 or #7, and it's rocking my socks.

Cursing Hollywood and worshipping a sock puppet.

He's supposed to be doing another volume of LoEG for Top Shelf. Apart from that, he's been talking about another novel for years, so I wish it would turn up.

Tea. Out. Nose. OW.
But that's the most accurate description, it has to be said.
