The players and DM's were always doing things wrong, and the rules stated this or that, or the other, and not the way that the tables rules had been set up. Tables rules were stupid, and had no place in a game... anyone playing mopre than 10 minutes knows the type.The DM had talked to this player, numerous times, as had the other players. Explainations and requests for order and cooperation had no effect on this particular player. One day, the DM got tired of the lawyer and simply stod up from behind his screen, walked over to the offending playeer, and lead him to the DM's hallowed position at the end of the table and informed him that the DM was now playing, and the rules lawyer was now going to finish the adventure.Having been put on the spot and shown my place in the grand scheme of things, I never rules lawyered again. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />I did, eventually become a rather decent DM, and a better than average player; however, it took that very kind slap to the face to show me the error of my ways.I would suggest it to all.</blockquote>
