[QUOTE="Majoru Oakheart, post: 6640981, member: 5143"] It's my opinion that the guy in question has the temper of a four year old. He gets very angry whenever things don't go his way. But he is under the belief that while it sucks that things don't go his way and he'll spent time complaining about it no matter who is DMing, that when I DM, the cause of all his problems is me. That I'm going out of my way to make sure he fails and that I purposefully rule against him just because I don't like him. While it is the true that I don't like him, I don't rule against him because of that. When I ran another adventure(Legacy of the Crystal Shard), there was a group of dwarves who are under the influence of an evil substance that makes you paranoid. He tried to convince them to make peace with the rest of the dwarves and rolled high on his persuasion roll. The adventure says that the dwarves won't be convinced by any appeal to their better nature, they are to paranoid for that. But attempts to blame their problems on anyone but the other dwarves work very well since they are inclined to believe everyone is out to get them. He was convinced that the reason his roll failed was that I didn't want him to succeed. After he got angry I told him to make an insight check and then took him that it looked like the dwarves were acting very paranoid and that using that might be the best way to get what he wanted. He stared at me blankly and said "I don't even know what that means. They are paranoid, so what?". His gf then said "He means you should tell the guy that it's someone else's fault and he'll believe you" and he said "Oh, why didn't he say that?" This is the best way I can illustrate what I'm dealing with. [/QUOTE]
