[QUOTE="DocSharpe, post: 6866592, member: 6677186"] No...not really. I've been listening. The plan was, and has always was, to talk to the person outside of the game. Since this person is, as you have probably guessed, a bit of a 'special and unique snowflake', I was just trying to collect as much advice as possible. (To the point of bullying...the other players have been chatting with me privately about this because some of them are concerned about not crossing that line) Just to close the loop...I did chat with him this weekend, and in his words, he's not taking action in games because "he doesn't have to". He has designed his character so that he has to do as little as possible. "Not the face, not the tank, not the sneak". When I asked him if there was a way we could get his character involved, he smiled and said "Nope...that's the whole point." I told him that this was disappointing, and that it was bordering on 'disruptive'. I also suggested that if it continues I'll need to engage the store owner. But thank you. It was helpful to know that I'm not really missing any obvious 'carrots'. [/QUOTE]
