[QUOTE="Dausuul, post: 6643148, member: 58197"] I'm going to reverse myself here and say that the problem is indeed Majoru's fault: Not because the player's actions were reasonable, but because Majoru chose to tolerate them and is [I]still[/I] choosing to tolerate them. Since it's now Wednesday, I assume the AL game in question has already happened. If you let the guy play and he behaved himself, okay.
