[QUOTE="Flexor the Mighty!, post: 7236539, member: 1013"] Players that waste my time, money, and efforts. Which is honestly half the group lately. But here is my #1 pet peeve. Player A.... Well when its his turn he has to then decide what to do, if he uses an ability he has to look it up since he can't remember what it did from using it 15 minute prior. Every attack he has to put his glasses back on, find his character sheet, look up his bonuses, then roll. Well first he has to find his dice. Then he rolls dice as slow as possible, one at a time. If its rolling at Adv/Dis he rolls them one at a time, and has to double check what his bonus is since he apparently forgot from last round. Oh don't forget before he looks he has to find his reading glasses and put them back on! After all he has a lot of heavy political commentary to fit in between actions. *beats head off desk* Well I guess he's better than his brother, Player B, who has to be told by the rest of the table to use his various special abilities since apparently in between rounds he's like the guy from Momento and his short term memory erases and he forgets that a 10th level Paladin can attack twice, or use certain abilities. Its to the point where I'm going to start giving a cut of his XP to other players who mostly play his PC for him... I think I just need a break for a couple weeks but I really want to get OotA finished since I'm so sick of running this pile of...stuff. It looks like next week will be a break so I just need to get though this week. Lately as I paint miniatures and work up terrain stuff I wonder if its even worth it. [/QUOTE]
