[QUOTE="Chimera, post: 2341992, member: 2002"] While I can understand the various suggestions, I am not GMing a game right now. I'm just a fellow player. All I can do is go into Rule Lawyer Mode and point out what they can and cannot do. Sometimes it works, sometimes the GM gets upset. As both my GMs are known to read this board on occasion, I'm not going to give any details as to who it might be. There's already enough tension in both groups, as in both cases, us players felt we needed to speak to our GMs about certain issues that were affecting enjoyment of the game. Note that it wasn't necessarily me who spoke up about every little thing, but I've been right there in the middle of it. More or less, I was hoping that someone could come up with a good, catchy term for people like this, so I could use it in the future. And to a lesser extent, I knew that others would share their own similar experiences, which would let me know that I'm not alone in experiencing this phenomenon. [/QUOTE]
