I laughed out loud at this post. You nailed it. As a player, I try to find a way to check out of the game if I'm in with a player who has full-blown 'Protagonist Syndrome.' When I am GM, I spend a lot of time trying to find diplomatic ways of writing posts to curb this behavior and boost the confidence of the group that it won't be allowed to continue unchecked. Example: "@Trexthemarsupial: I dig where you're going with this, but it might come across as 'hogging the spotlight.' While I do indeed find your character's background intriguing, I think we should all aim for about 50 words per post, and give everyone a few days to chime in before doing up a second post. We may get into territory where 50 words won't be enough, but we ain't there at the moment. -The Esteemed GM"
