If you are interested in a very funny story about a bunch of players with a severe
lack of common sense, surf on over to:
http://www.io.com/sjgames/ill/
The game described is AD&D, and one might try to say "See! That game system
promotes munchkinism!" but I think it would have happened with THESE players
no matter what the system.

(funny story)

Reminds me of the time was at a Con, doing the met with Mr. Johnson. Johnson
leaves and throws my character a cred stick to help by the group supplies with.
(Keep in mind, I've never met any one at the table before except the GM.) One
of the other characters turns to me and says, "Hand it over." Me thinking,
he's going to keep it, told him, "I'll just hold on to it, until we get the
supplies." Mistake on my part, the PC whips out his stun baton, nails me with
it. I blow everything and to make it to my next action. He stuns me again,
knocking my character to the floor, (mean while a brawl has now just broken out
in the bar) takes the cred stick, and shoots me in the head killing me.

Hell now breaks loose in the bar, LS was three turns away and not one PC made it
out of the bar.

That was truly pathatic.

What a jerk! I mean, really. What kind of fragging idiot would
think behavior like that will ever get him hired again?! What a dolt!

No need to debase yourself that way, can you say "CyberSkull of Vecna"?

Okay, could someone repost the address for this story? It seems I've
deleted it.

I think you mean this 'Head of Vecna' story. It was told in the 'Most Ignoble
Death'-thread on GURPSnet-l. But yeah, this story beats everything.
