[QUOTE="Midknightsun, post: 4374211, member: 46459"] Yikes, I agree with many here. The guy sounds disruptive for the sake of being disruptive and attention seeking. There's very little rationality there, so rational attempts at talking to the player will likely fail. Not that the DM should'nt try, he definitely should have by now, but I've seen this type of player before and they seem to feed off the negative emotions they create. The best thing I've seen work is putting some hard ultimatums on them: stop being difficult or you'll be uninvited. If they are a friend they will understand and try to work with the rest of the group. Otherwise they're not worth your time and are just dragging down everyone else's good time. Yes, not many are up for this kind of confrontation, but just letting his behaviors continue and the hard feelings fester is far worse in the long run. maybe i'm getting old, but my tolerance for these kinds of games has diminished to near nothing. I'd have talked to him a long time ago, and asked him to leave . . . or have left myself if the DM and/ or host refused to deal with it. No gaming is preferable to bad gaming IMHO. [/QUOTE]
