>supposed to play highly underground, poorly balanced, ultra pulp post-apocalyptic RPG.
>everybody's literally ready.
>it's happening.
>one guy can't show.
>MIA for days.
>shit players argue that the player's character in question is merely a progress trigger, thus control of it is a binary action that can simply be passed to someone who has a rough idea of what said character would do, feel, and decide upon in situation X.
>player council decides it's totally gonna be the GM or me who gets to make the call.
>religiously oppose any kind of dual wielding of characters for shit reasons like a guy couldn't show, but have to play along somewhat, so it gets stalled out.
>it turns out there will be a separate adventure, because the GM really wants to do something, and one of the guys really, really wants to play.
>GM magic.
>scenario out of nowhere. He's inspired as fuck.
>literally timeskipped to before the current events.
>do simple fetch/kill quest of bear asses, using bear lore, to satisfy NPC questgiver dude, and act as his bodyguards on a safari through bearland.
>the twist is that all the assembled characters have zero social skills, and are either horrible roleplayers, or are roleplaying brain damaged murderhobos who are not allowed to do any higher level social activities..
>this gonna be gud.
>uhm uhm uhm uhm uhm.
>I aim my uhm at uhm.
>murderhobo has to stop farmer from killing messenger on horse, because always shot the messenger is standard fare in farmland.
>partyface defaults to highest level dude, who suddenly has character traits, ideas, opinions, and some kind of end goal.
>uhm uhm.
>brain damaged idiot savant murderhobo forced to take the wheel.
>barely get out of the 'establish the setting and task to be undertaken'-chat by extracting information from messenger against all odds.

murderhobo has to incite team into considering the quest and whether or not anyone present has bear lore or equivalent, because bear lore is somewhat useful when you're going bear hunting.
>GM checks for literally bear lore.
>farmer has bear lore. Asks GM to read the rules out because he can't be bothered to open the book himself.
>I pass on the GM's description of my knowledge to the party instantly.
>fuck you, attempt some roleplaying or no bear lore for you..
>hark, I yee most esteemed of the farmer kin of post-apocalyptic NZ do so bestow upon my loyal murderhobo companion the knowledge of how to murder bears. So it was, so it is written, and thus at the green dragon inn we shall gather, the fellowship of the V8.
>fuuuuuuuu okay, sure.
>party tech monkey asks how is bear trap formed.
>murderhobo uses crafting skills and roleplaying to force his hand to remember that he's a super skilled technician who can make everything short of cyborg implants.
>oh right, good. Let's just go to my shop and sit around for the whole prep and craft bear traps.
>farmer with bear lore decides to spend the pre-quest time tending to his crops, in character.
>murderhobo is not allowed to enhance bear traps for better killing potential.
>use stealth to steal bear traps and jury rig them to send a billion volts of electricity into anyone who steps on them, for more effective looting of bear asses.
>party tech, in character, has no comment on the fact that 4 of 10 traps went missing for an unspecified number of hours.
>suddenly farmer says this all sounds too fucking dangerous, and we'd need at least a Gandalf tier NPC to fight these super deadly bears in a one-off session he requested be played because the regularly scheduled game got canceled.
>deflating.
>partyface has shit all to say.
>murderhobo is not allowed to override farmer's decision.
>he starts whining out of character.
>partyface asks other characters to join in.
>uhm uhm uhm

>farmer player whining harder.
>he doesn't realize the GM would adjust the adventure, that he requested, to fit whatever crazy turnip and farming fetishes he has, if he just asked.
>farmer quits, because 'it's late.'
>murderhobo and partyface tech monkey left in the going.
>more than enough firepower and abilities to get through the adventure.
>uhm uhm uhm.
>literally about to blow my top at all the bullshit going on.
>tell him out of character we can totally do this, just me and him and the GM, and it'll be fun. We can explore the character dynamic, and shit.
>but last time I fought wild animals, they almost killed me, man.
>it ain't happening.
>mfw all of this.
Somewhere out there is a magical wonderland where people give half a fuck about the role in roleplaying, but whenever I think I've found it, I sober up and realize it was all a dream.

what the fuck are you even trying to convey with this long ass rambling story? Just quit if you're that butt blasted about the group. Usually a player not showing up for weeks on end is a good sign to just dip out especially since you seem to hate everyone who does show up. They'd probably fair better without your attitude dragging the game down anyway
