Lose your current group, and find another, there are plenty 'em out there.
My personnal belief is the best type of muchkin a dead muchkin.
(Advertising in a local hobby store seems to work well around here, you
might want to try it.)

And as another problem with muchkins: How do you deal with players that
are Conjuring Adepts and cyber themselves to hell and back? They have no
use for a Magic Skill or a Magic Pool, for that matter, so as long as they
have a MR of 1, they have no problem, and whistle to the cows come home.
(Another little note about Conj. Adepts: they can never use up all of
their Force points a the start of the game, since the Nuyen cost of the foci
out distances the Force Points)
