[QUOTE="Doctor DM, post: 5389867, member: 49937"] Yeah poo bomber is from Janx earlier in the thread. I think it's a good (and funny) analogy. As, for whiney douche, that's what he's being. Complaining jerk? Protesting ass? I don't know how else to describe it. If I'm starting to seem angry, it's because I am. In my 8 years of role-playing this is by far the best game I've been involved in. The DM has really put a ton of work into it to create a really great, flavorful world and story. And our characters get tons, I mean TONS of extra bonuses and abilities. The problem player himself is allowed to play a Chaotic Good Paladin, who can freely multiclass into fighter and go back to Paladin. He's gotten masterwork weapons for like half price. And he has favored enemy against Undead AND outsiders, just becasue the DM thought the Paladin class was a little weak and it fit his character. Oh, AND he was just able to learn a wizard spell for free, just from studying a spellbook for a few weeks. But he has literally said the DM is always screwing us over. I've been trying to give him the benefit of the doubt, he doesn't get the rules that well, blah blah blah, but now I don't think that's the case. He just can't handle "losing", and acts like a kid about it. If we boot him the game will probably die, because one of the players is friends with just the problem player. (he's friends with the rest of us too when we're playing, but he only knows and hangs out with the problem player outside the game.) And if the problem player was booted I know it would feel too weird for the guy to play without him, like he's going behind his back or something. We could probably find another 2 players, but it wouldn't be the same great game. But I'm really sick of this, so idk... we'll probably talk to him about it again and give him another chance. Who knows. I'll keep you posted. [/QUOTE]
