Well actually he managed to survive an instance that was just plain stupid
on his part, in retrospect I should have
fudged the dice rolls to kill him. You see he's bloodthirsty and vengeful
and really hates black hats.
Three blackhats surrendered (as best they could, threw out their clips and
opened their breeches on their guns)
the heroic PC and the templar decided to let them go, but he (the syker)
wanted to kill them. So he shot one in the head at point blank.
The other two got smart, pulled grenades and pins and held them in thier
hands. The rest of the posse moved back, but liek a complete
idiot he killed one anyway. The grenade when off did some wounds to him (of
course he had a 20 pt forcefield), I said the grenade killed the other
blackhat who was standing there, but for some stupid reason I let him make a
quickness roll or something to get away before it went off.
He made it and managed to not take any damage from the second grenade.
I wish I wouldve killed him right then, he had it coming after all, and even
the other posse members wanted him to die right then.Hell one even
said I should have fudged the dice to kill him for being so stupid. Normally
this player is only slightly annoying, he plays his hinderances too much.
For example, last character in DL was cautious, so he took it to paranoid.
This character is bloodthirsty so he takes it to  psychotic.

After that little instance the heroic character wouldnt talk to him and he
decided to leave the posse, but then changed his mind and decided he wanted
to change his ways. Now Im gunning for him. Next session theres a couple
spots where if his stupidity sets in he's guaranteed to die.
And before anyone says "kick him out" or anything, keep in mind we only have
3 people we can game with, so losing him isnt really an option at this
point. I've killed whole posses before so I know he'll get over it if I off
him, but I dont want to doom the other two by doing it, since they have been
careful
and good roleplayers.

Doesnt look like we'll play this Sunday, but next weekend I think a lot more
bad things will be headed his way if he doesnt shape up.
