[QUOTE="GameOgre, post: 5630808, member: 57914"] First off let me say that finding people with the same play style as you is heaven! Most of the time though we all have to realize that the game needs to be a mix and match of what everyone wants. Loot issues are ALWAYS a pain. Unless you have a solid agreement how things are handled you have no right to claim anything more than he does. work together to find a agreement. This doesn't mean you all gang up on him and attack him though! Thats just what your characters did! Look at it from his point of view. What if there was something he wanted and so did you. So he put a sword to your characters throat(his class tool just like spells are the mages) and made you give it up. not only that but the entire party went along with it! Then when you felt like getting revenge(always a bad idea) the DM stopped the game and let the party retroactivly make changes so that your revenge did not work out!! See? If you take a steep back and look at it he has all the reason in the world to act like a arse! He will not be at the next game probably for a reason! My advice is for you guys to apologize for the whole mess and try to laugh it off. Also to realize that your Metagamer is not the devil just because of his play style. I have a metagammer in my group and we all manage to get along fine! now thats not saying he might not be a arse! Just that it isnt BECAUSE of his play style. I also agree that it does not sound like this group of people can handle character conflicts well and needs clear rules on how to deal with stuff like this. Few groups can and its all about the fun. If it aint fun don't do it! but thats a two way street! If it isn't fun for his character you shouldn't do it either! Also a no Evil or CN Alignments rule is needed.Frankly the player freedom to make a character with those alignments isn't worth the pain of the conflicts they cause. [/QUOTE]
