[QUOTE="Hippy, post: 4572898, member: 63574"] I would ask him point blank (albeit in private in necessary) "Are you having a good time? Because to the rest of us it looks like your aren't. Your sulking is bringing the rest of us down and this is suppose to be fun! Maybe you need a break? Should we try another game perhaps? If this doesn't work then you need to take stronger methods and give him the boot if he doesn't shape up. In my thirty years of gaming there is nothing more irritating than a grumpy, whiny, gamer. If he loses his cool over the talking to, then IMHO he isn't being much of a friend to the group in the first place. In some cases just ignoring the problem is rewarding bad behavior. I don't tolerate it in my daughters or my friends when I see it, and if I do it my wife calls me on it immeidately (and rightfully so!) If he is a real friend he will drop the attitude or gracefully exit the game as to not wreck the friendships. Just my two electrums. Best of luck, Hippy [/QUOTE]
