[QUOTE="starkad, post: 454484, member: 6803"] I don't know that I would classify him as 'rude'. He's been disruptive, but not abusive. He's kept pretty 'even keel' in his methods. At no time have voices been raised. I will admit it is a form of blackmail.. And seeing it in that light makes me wonder why I let it go on this long. And making problems for the center of attention? Right on the mark, even if they are superficial problems. Good way of saying it. I haev talked to the group, and they simply say "That's so-and-so, I'm used to it. He'll leave when we play Spycraft, so why bother?" And that burns me to no end. I constantly get frustrated with this guy.. He takes literally 3-5 minutes to do his action, stretching combat out interminably. I've gone so far as to invoke the dreaded; "Combat rounds are 6 seconds, stop metagaming." Most of my other players contemplate their actions well before their turn, and modify them as needed.. This guy literally takes the cake. You should see him when we play Starfarer's of Cataan... He'll take 10-15 minutes for his turn sometimes. Ugh. This is also the guy that wants to rest after every signle garl darn fight.. And actually complains when the group wants to push on for a challenge... THEY didn't waste all their spells on one silly fight. And they'ev dubbed him "Buff Boy". Good advice guys.. Thanks. Definitely keep it coming if you have more. I think I have a tentative course of action right now, though... Which is good, considering we play tonight. [/QUOTE]
