[QUOTE="Woas, post: 4648661, member: 16317"] Oh without a doubt. There are plenty of people who normally sit at the table as the regular GM and then can switch to being a player and be patience and not 'interfere'. The term I was believe now after giving more thought is, "Rules Worrying". I feel, and it has been my experience that the more a player knows about the nitty-gritty of how the rules interact, the more they are going to lament over 'what's the absolute BEST rule I can invoke so that I can do the right action, right now' and running the different scenarios, as if they were their own GM, in their head. Furthermore it is this type of rules worrying that lends one player (the worrier) to start interupting other player's turns to enlighten them on how their action is sub-optimal, and here are a bunch of rules to prove it and here are some more rules that you should look into, etc. It is that level of rules knowledge that I feel is one of the bigger disruptions to play and having fun.
