[QUOTE="~EE~, post: 5006214, member: 86435"] We're 17-18 except, our Japanese teacher who is 26. He isn't really new to RPGs, table top games yes, but RPGs in general, no. He's played old school games like Zelda and Gauntlet to new stuff like Fallout and WoW. WoW he's played the crap out of but, that's not D&D at all. Anyway...My personal guess to why he's doing this is based on a few different things. He said straight out that he's good at lying in real life. Indeed he is. To a point but, that is irrelevant to my theory. I think he's attempting to base his chara off of himself and attempting to become all powerful through words. I do agree with the point that he could be attempting to beat everyone but, only subconsciously. Every time someone gets anything that's better than his, he attempts to one up them or attempts to get rid of whatever is better then him. I got a pair of headphones from Mt. Dew, he immediately attempted to win them off of me and, when he failed got pissed. He has yet to one up that but, when I did beat him legitly through CoD4, a lot, he attempted to foil me by not letting my play until HE got Modern Warfare 2. (He owns the game, I do not) He does do these things but, I doubt he is aware of why he does them. I could list more reasons but, I would then get into psychology and, this is not the place. I don't live ANYWHERE near a staples or any other bargain place. 100 miles from Canada in a forest wasteland pretty much. Biggest thing we have near me is Target and Kmart. Anything else is an hour and a half drive south but, I don't think they have a staples. I was considering doing that but, laminating it to be reused. I have yet to find the paper though. Any thoughts about reusing it? He has read the skills descriptions, a lot. In fact, that's what got him into thinking that Bluff was the ultimate lying skill to make people do what he wanted and believe what he wanted. Semi correct but, he then preceded to get pissed, make fun of me, and not speak to me until one of my friends, who is more respected apparently, told him as well. He then preceded to re roll as a bard. Now he believes he can do the same with Diplomacy. I was thinking of letting him attempt to make others do what he wanted but, if it goes through, take out the part that they do it unless, it's something I really believe they would do. [/QUOTE]
