[QUOTE="DDK, post: 706249, member: 6469"] [b]Advocate General of the Boot[/b] I'm an advocate of the boot. I say get rid of him, by night, with a hammer, in the basement, if you have to :D Seriously though, I like to nip these players in their butt send them yapping. The whining won't stop. Now that you've given him some rope, he'll just hang you all with it. He'll just drag you down until the entire group splits up. Such people aren't satisfied with just gaming, they have to be the be all and end all of the game and are willing to destroy everything to get their way. In fact, I say thump him for being so incredibly disrespectful and selfish. I just kicked out a guy from my online PBP for being a whiny little beatch who caused problems at every step of the game, both in game and out of game. He took hours and hours of talking to online and still couldn't even adhere to the very basic requirements of the game. He was just lazy and selfish and the only reason I gave him any leeway at all was because I had thought we were friends. But to me, causing problems like he did is just disrespectful of everybody in the game and selfish. So instead of letting it slide for another six months until all the other players were at his throat and I was at my wits end, I just nipped it in the bud and kicked him out wholesale. Even though it meant he now won't talk to me and has banned me from his chatroom, in the long run I feel I did what's best for the benefit of the group and the game. There are five other people aside from him in the game, all of whom have put in a great deal of effort and are all doing their best to participate at a reasonable level without being total PITA. If they can do it, then I see no reason why I, and the other players, should put up with one person who can't. So I'd speak to the DM and tell him plain, get rid of the guy before it causes more pain down the line. 'Cause I garauntee you from VAST experience, this is just the beginning of the problems he'll cause... [/QUOTE]
