Had this pop up at a recent FTF game...one of the players wanted his character to be an embed reporter from CNN, complete with his GI-issue camera man. Now, in true CNN-fashion, this player proceeded to annoy the ever-living $@$#@^#$#$^#$$*(!(%$ out of all of the other players, with his man-in-the-street interviews, and maneuvering to get the best shots of whatever combat that we were involved in. It was an intresting, if over-down treatment of a real-life situation, sooooooooooo...

Anybody else have this happen or any thoughts on how to game this one?
In the story I was attempting to write, the main character was a freelance photo-journalist. Even though he didn't have a means of sending his photos & print copy to any existing newspapers, he kept taking pictures and downloading them to his laptop, as long as the batteries were charged. He wasn't actually embedded, he just went where he thought he could get away with going.
