[QUOTE="Mort, post: 4468790, member: 762"] The problem is the player creating a character that directly conflicted with the DM's request and then pushing it. The instructions were clear, get your character to the mansion by any means you choose. The player not doing so is not roleplaying it's just rude and obstinate to the detriment of the group. While better than the previous example - it's still bad. This is not a novel or a movie. Showboating and taking away time from the other characters is rude. Putting roleplaying above the fun of the party is rude. Now if the player looked at the other characters and said "hey, here's how I'd like to react here" and they said "sure, go for it sounds fun" that's a different story. True as long as everyone is on the same page. If everyone is playing a competent character and you come in with "basket weaver" extraordinaire, perhaps you should rethink the character? Again unless that roleplaying is getting in the way of everyone else having fun. There's a reason roleplaying is a collaborative endeavor. Of course there's a line and you just named it. If you roleplaying is getting in the way of everyone's fun, especially on a consistent basis - you've crossed the line. This I'll agree with. [/QUOTE]
