[QUOTE="steeldragons, post: 5389117, member: 92511"] Aw man. I'm sorry to hear this. Wow. He really is a whiny bitch, isn't he? Does he understand that this is the game you're playing? You go a couple of rounds and it is [I]entirely possible [/I](if not [I]probable[/I] against a superior foe) you will "drop." (That is rhetorical. Obviously, this poor shlump has NO CLUE what game it is he's playing.) Stupid players suffer stupid things...Again, this is the game he is playing. I HOPE, just perhaps, he learned from this experience and will attempt to be less foolhardy in the future....again, rhetorical, as I seriously doubt he will. Good plan. ;) Nice to see some of your teammates are using their heads. hahaha. Two things. 1: It's called karma. Have him look it up and learn it. 2: Where do you guys live, cuz I've had about enough of this brat and will fly back over to the states and boot his ass from your game myself! Jeebuz. You're rolling badly. You're takin' damage. SERIOUSLY, Dr. DM! Your DM is MUCH too kind to this dip sKit. Look, Dr. DM...I know, you've explained at length this guy is a friend and all of that...But once again, I just have to throw in the 2 coppers to say "Boot him." You can be friends with someone and not be gaming friends...and this guy, evidently, is simply [I]NOT[/I] grasping nor shows signs of [I]wanting [/I]to grasp, how D&D works. Cut him out of the game and go hang with him on non-game nights. Rent a movie. Grab a drink. Chat up girls (or boys, or whatever floats yer respective boats). Play video games (apparently all he understands). But I, personally, see no reason to continue ruining MY good time and that of the group as a whole, for this whiny douche and his "Us against the DM. I have to 'win'. He's out to screw us." mentality. No, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the scenario...and your DM does sound like he runs a pretty cool and exciting game. So, lucky you! I hope the friendship survives, too, but you seem mature enough to acknowledge the possibility that it might not...or might need a "cooling off" period. While, on the other hand, it sounds to me that this friend (who, I believe you said was 20-something?!) has the emotional maturity of a 12 y.o. SO, don't be too shaken/upset if he wants to throw a fit, go pout and "not be friends anymore" when you have to boot him...because, I think you and your DM already know, that's the road you're on...and he shows few, if any, signs of veering from that path. :( Good luck and happy gaming. --Steel Dragons [/QUOTE]
