[QUOTE="the Jester, post: 5600595, member: 1210"] Start by talking to him, outside of the game, and tell him it's annoying as heck when he does those things. If that doesn't work, when you ask the dm a question or for a ruling and duder starts to spout off, look him in the eye and say (loudly enough that he hears you over his own talking) "I AM ASKING THE DM, NOT YOU, SO PLEASE BE QUIET." Don't do that for anyone else- it isn't really your place- but do something similar when he tries to tell you what to do; politely but firmly, "I WAS NOT ASKING FOR YOUR ADVICE, SO PLEASE HUSH SO I CAN DECIDE WHAT I AM GOING TO DO." When he starts to spout off about Werewolf, tell politely but firmly, "I AM NOT INTERESTED IN HEARING ABOUT THIS AGAIN, SO PLEASE STOP DISTRACTING ME FROM THE GAME WE'RE ACTUALLY PLAYING." If he still doesn't get it, run a game without him. If he asks to join, tell him, "Sorry, duder, I already talked to you about the problem out of game and in game multiple times, and the whole point of my running this game is because you won't respect my wishes and STFU." If he gets all butt hurt, tell him that if can respect your wishes in everybody else's games, you may reconsider, but as long as he continues his problematic and distracting behavior, you absolutely will not. And stick to it. [/QUOTE]
