Are powergamers a problem and do you allow them to play in your games?

[QUOTE="GameOgre, post: 7325653, member: 57914"] Sorry man but you are failing to see the writing on the wall. You might have a right to feel frustrated in another thread and I do agree with your post in regards to you do NOT have to play with everyone and it's perfectly fine to be picky who you play with what styles are at your table. In a lot of cases that means you walk and do not get to play but the choice is still yours. That said however....THIS thread isn't about all that. THIS thread was started with the OP saying Power gaming isn't a style of play but disruptive behavior and going on to give a example with no details about another character more effective than him that ruined the game. Frankly he was Trollish and attacking a playstyle other than HE wanted. Did the guy roll a 18 while he rolled a 13 and so it ruined his fun? We do not know. All we get from him is trollish talk and vague arrogant dismissal of POWERGAMING with no description of what that is. He even started it off with the "I have been gaming for 30 years and in all that time" nonsense. I mean I have him beat by 13 years so I guess my word is better on the subjects right? Bah! If you want to talk abut play styles in a healthy and constructive fashion you Don't do it this way. [/QUOTE]
