That's hilarious and sad. Condolences for your vacuum cleaner, but at least we got these anecdotes. And you got to learn quickly that those players were problematic.

I've been lucky enough to have often found like-minded friends and strangers to play The Fantasy Trip (whose forum you posted this in, by the way - this was a thread about the possibility of porting Orcslayer to TFT) and GURPS. I've managed to detect and avoid playing with players who are too incompatible with the type of game I'm interested in playing.

Having determined some people are a terrible match, I'd suggest avoiding them and instead using other methods to find players who already want to play the games you want to play (e.g. by making posts or looking for posts for wanted games and players), or who at least are open to trying the games you want to play.

There's no need to win over entire communities - just to find enough compatible people to play with.
