That sounds very cute! I’m thinking of the players who seem to need secret knowledge over the other players.
I was in a game with a secret were-rat who was constantly passing notes to the gm and then you’d wake up missing items or finding NPCs you liked dead and the player would angrily deny having anything to do with it. We all saw you pass a note.
A friend of mine once intentionally derailed a pug game by playing a priest of torm who was convinced that torm was black, to piss off the gm and the paladin of torm who were super racist. We probably shouldve just left the game, but we were asshole teens.
One time in a group I wanted out of because of a problem player, he tried to steal a critical piece of gear from my character while I was sleeping. Before I could say anything he started with a “What, it’s what my character would do!” I told him “Well MY character would kill anyone caught stealing from him with his very large axe, so good luck!” Weirdly he didn’t think that was as funny.
The “that’s what my character would do” thing really sucks. If the other players don’t think it’s funny, and the DM doesn’t think it’s funny and often not even the player themselves think it’s funny (or replace funny with any other measure of worthwhileness), then why are they doing it? It’s not like the character is a living being that demands accuracy.
In my party was a hobgoblin convinced he was the most beautiful being on the earth. And he tried convincing everyone to think the same. Was very funny

I don’t get it. Obviously hobgoblins don’t think hobgoblins are ugly.
