Player Warning!!!

Hi. I just wanted to share something that happened at my game last night.  It was my first session of a new campaign I'm running and this player just dipped out of the campaign and left Discord without any word.  DMs, be careful if you add pheonix31699 on Discord if they are seeking to join your campaign.  It was incredibly frustrating because the session was about to start and he just dipped like that.  Luckily, I was able to move things around in session to make it work, but it's the principle of the matter.

Any chance the internet ended inexpertly aka power outage?

I know we have lost power and therefore the cell phone towers lose power as well, and sometimes it is just one and not the other.

Do you have any actual reason to think they did this maliciously?

 They literally left my Discord server during session and they ended up blocking myself and the other players.

That is way different from your original description.

and left Discord without any word.

Did something happen during the session that prompted them to do that?

 Not to add no helpful feedback, but this is not the right forum for this. This forum is for feedback on D&Dbeyond as a website, not a place to callout a player for their actions

Unfortunately, this is something that can happen when playing with anonymous people on the internet. You can reduce the risk by being more selective about who you play with, but it's still there. And at least having a player do this is less devastating than when a DM does so.
