David and I experienced a really bad LARP GM; kind of a control freak, his area of control as the GM was Nosferatu and Brujah (and David was playing a Nos and I was playing a Brujah--we were head of both groups). He came in as a Sherrif from a nearby city hundreds and hundreds of years older than us and kinda tortured us for two hours in game in an effort to get us to comply; apparently is plan for having fun in game was to make us NPCs without permission.

My solution involved the other GMs--they were hadnling all the other clans and the Prince of the Sherrif who came to bug us. The very next game when his Sheriff came, every clan in the city (save one, who got pissed they were not asked) was in the same place and I had permission from his Prince to put him down.

We didn't, because it turns out that all the Nos shooting the heaviest weapons we were allowed out of obfuscate while the Brujah beat on him and the Toreador used their perception and speed to prevent him escaping were just not enough for the task (did you know that 5 invisible vampires can miss 1 GM controlled NPC with no special perception abilities?). I am to understand the next GM meeting was somewhat less than cordial, and that GM stopped interacting with us entirely, still completely oblivious to why his behavior was received as it was by the entire game full of players.

Sometimes standing up to bullies can be both fun and profitable.
