Loss of Property

We had a player who always ran a generic evil and cowardly invisible flying magic user who lived in an underground hole.

Sounds like a recipe for success, how could it fail?

You probably guessed it, but quite easily.

While we were evil, most of us helped build communities, and were team players on adventures.

The "Mage in a Hole" was plagued by Earth Elementals and Giant Worms until he got the message and established his own keep.

And the other players (myself included) taught him a lesson about being a team player.

We had a player whom we were forced to play with in the early days. He was related to the DM and lived across the street. He refused to be a team player. He always went out of his way to screw over the party no matter what our alignment. He frequently tried to enact revenge over imagined slights or perceived wrongs done to previous characters. Every evil group that was attempted degenerated into PC on PC fighting. It was a long two years until he moved.

Sounds to me like you should have taken the player out back and beat the crap out of him until he became a team player.
Did he have mommy or daddy issues, throw temper tantrums when things didn't go his way, or whine a lot?

Daddy was a scumbag and new stepmother was present physically but not mentally. Our party was always poor, mostly due to his thieving and getting everyone killed. He was 7 years older than me at the time. I tried to take him out back, but 12 versus 19 spells ouch. Luckily, my older brother showed up to stop things.

Well Rabkala, you can bet in the long run you still won.

Last I heard anything about him was a few years ago. He had just gone through divorce #3 and being prosecuted for stealing while working as a rent-a-cop. I tried to feel some sympathy for him, but I just kept thinking I was bigger than he was now.
