You don't have to be hasty, possum. 
I have had disagreements with others like this and continue to play along with them afterwards without issue. Mainly because (I hope) there is still mutual respect between BF and myself.
BF's comments and my responses in PMs (from my phone) caught me at a time where I am dealing with multiple OOC dramas at once. So I am a bit touchy perhaps. I have since eliminated one thorn (booted him from my game) and choose to ignore the other idiot.
However, I still don't think BF needed to roll the dice & use a FP, so my reaction about shooting Sloor was more about OOC perception than anything else.
Perhaps my writing did not convey properly what I am thinking Mack perceives (since I cluttered things by asking about Taking a 1 on Perception):
- He has no clue why Sloor is glaring at him, since he is acting a part to keep Mir from having to drink.
- He has been drinking, so that is cluttering judgement.
- He is thinking with the little brain and not his noggin (+2 bonus to Will?)
- Figures Sloor is acting a part in the charade
Regardless of his use of the roll, I still don't think a PC should roll dice to influence another player's role-playing. So, right or wrong I pretty much ignored the roll. But, wasting an FP on it struck me as I was being forced into certain behavior. I guess that is not the case and I misunderstood.
I had a SWSE game where another player used Mind Trick on me without even an OOC "Excuse me" before or later. The GM essentially endorsed it. Needless to say, I dropped that game shortly thereafter since that was very inconsiderate behavior. So I am very touchy on people rolling social skill checks PvP.
Another experience I have had is people rolling them to make up for piss poor writing in interacting with other PCs. Again, not the case here, but where my feelings on the subject have been tempered.
Granted, if there is a time to have a player turn to the dark side, then that is a different situation and not what we are discussing. I have had agreeable PvP combats before without worry.
I will post Mack tomorrow. I am assuming that we have pretty much resolved our disagreement and can continue without needing to prematurely end the scene.
