[QUOTE="rushlight, post: 2330520, member: 3801"] To me, if the player's actions were left unchecked, the DM would have perhaps lost control of the game - resulting in still being called a sucky DM. While I disagree with the DM's method of handling things, you can't just let the PCs run rampant. Left with (what I assume) was such a large amount of cash, the game would likely have derailed anyway. Unless stealing from jewel merchants was the whole point of that campaign. :confused: So what you've got here is a player making bad decisions, compounded by a DM making bad decisions to try and keep the player in line. The DM knew there was a problem, but didn't apparently have the tools to deal with it properly. This game was going down one way or the other it seems... [/QUOTE]
