[QUOTE="Blade of Desecration, post: 2746187, member: 27325"] A. You need to talk to this guy. Tell him that his meta-gaming is making it harder for everyone else to enjoy the game. Maybe he just doesn't realize how much he irritates the other players. B. Make it very clear to him that UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS THROWING THINGS AT THE DM ACCEPTABLE. In such situations, my motto is "Smite the player, not the character." Afterall, it isn't Fragthor the Mighty's falt if his player is a dick. C. If he refuses to change, [I]then[/I] think about booting him. D. Before you boot him, think about how valuable he is as a friend. If this is a guy that neither you or any of your other players have any real relationship with outside the group, then booting might make sense. But if you or any of your players are friends with this guy, think it over carefully. You don't want to loose more than one player over this. E. CONSULT WITH YOUR GROUP BEFORE YOU BOOT. I can't stress this enough. F. If this guy is being truly disruptive, boot him. The game only works if ALL the involved parties are having fun, not just some annoying jerk. [/QUOTE]
