Which I don’t mind, so long as it doesn’t cause problems, which so far has not (to my knowledge).They are often completely untrustworthy (Example: Stewartby from the CoC game), or a fairly negative antihero anti-authority type (Example: Talon from the current game). Sadly, when you play these sort of characters on a regularly basis, I can see where Gnomish Tinker comes from.But I’ll make it clear here, so far, I have had no problems with your roleplaying but diversity is the spice of life.It’s a problem because, as I have been trying to explain, you are taking it to a level where the rest of us don’t go. You play the rules and not the game – as I have said on more than a few occasions. There’s no problem playing a good fighter, but do you really need to go to extremes with it? True, that level of game is great for some people, just not us and you fail to see why that is causing problems.I am not pouting. You can believe that if you want. I am just thinking of the continued lack of enjoyment and fun because of the way that LikuidIce plays. His ubering, and rules arguing, has caused so many complaints over the past two years that I feel something needs to be done. I’ve tried explaining our side, and he won’t listen. I do understand his, but frankly that style of play isn’t fitting to how the group plays. If we started playing that way players would quit.Exactly. We don’t want to lose him, he is a good guy, but the majority has to win out in this situation. If I was forced to DM the game that he likes/wants, I’d quit. Sounds harsh, but I need to have fun as well as the players. I don’t want to run a game like that, I don’t find it enjoyable and neither would the rest of the group.Just to clarify, the 6th player is Likuidice himself.Another GM friend of ours, who does not play D&D, has been drawn into arguments with him over the rules. Despite us all telling him that the rules are guidelines, he insists that they are not, and that they must be used as written.This may have not been the best way to say it, but the last time we spoke I said to him that myself and a couple other players have been playing since at least 1987, and that didn’t he think we had a better understanding of how RPG’s work than he (my point being that he's been in the game for only 2 years)? His response to simply say that that comment was rubbish and irrelevant. I kind of regret putting my argument that way (I was getting quit annoyed at his lack of understanding/accepting my thoughts), but I think it still holds up.</blockquote>
