I had a VERY similar event happen with a WHM in Ultima one time. We wiped twice, this WHM starts doing down the list telling people what to do, then runs an eruption right up to where the tank was standing in the 3rd attempt, I'll assume as an accident. Someone, but presumably him, initiates a 'Vote Abandon' but it fails. A minute or so goes by and no one leaves, so we figure everyone will give it another go. Well, the WHM just stands in the very back not moving and after one of the tanks says
'Alright, let's try again' he says 'No thank you' and we proceed to wipe. We vote-kicked him afterward, but it was just giving him what he wanted I guess. =/

It's frustrating to say the least.
