[QUOTE="Mort, post: 8243448, member: 762"] Did all players agree beforehand that PvP was OK and that acting against other players fine - without being pressured to do SO? If yes, well OK, though honestly not my preference. If not? Then this is horribly jerkish behavior. And, since the other players were surprised, it seems no consent to PvP was discussed or given. The guy essentially ruined a successful campaign run by deciding to massively hog the spot light to be the last person standing. The fact that he planned it the entire time and threw in "little clues " along the way to essentially troll the party? Just wow, sorry this guy is NEVER getting invited back to a session if I'm the DM. The "it's what my character would do..." end after pointing out these clues is the cherry on top the jerk top! "ha, ha you should have seen it coming..." is exactly what a jerk says to justify this kind of terrible behavior. Again, if the group had agreed the characters could /would possibly murder each other, will OK. But even from your short description, it sounds more like the guy was just unilaterally imposing his fun on the table - which is not great. This seems to be joking around, and while not everyone's cup of tea - it seems the table didn't mind it /had fun with it. Also, this didn't generate conflict, so much as eye rolling. And the player wasn't being a jerk because he didn't continue after the joke had run its course or make anyone uncomfortable. [/QUOTE]
