The common term for the kinds of players you are describing is "dickweed."

It's also sometimes called "my guy" play. I.e., "My guy wouldn't do that!" being said in response to any attempts to, you know, actually get the game moving forward n an enjoyable fashion.

Easy fix: Don't play with these people.
