Unpolite and happy about it! UPDATED 11/04/05

If the other GM complains then tell him that Frank is lucky that you didn't kill him and take his stuff.

Beautiful!

This person is definitely showing a lack of care for the game and a lack or consideration for the other players. Not cool! Talk to the other DM and the other players as well. I am thinking that they all are feeling something similar!

Actually, I have to chime on this one issue because it keeps sticking in my brain. I can't believe anybody else at the table let this slide at the time. If someone had done this at my table (or pretty much any of my friends' games), that plate of muffins would have been snatched right out of his fat fingers.
Not bringing anything to the cookout is one thing (we let some people slide because they're on student wages). That can be forgiven. But hogging a dozen muffins right in front of everyone? Unbelievable.

I'm almost having a hard time believing the OP in this case with a player that bad.

Perhaps it's just good fortune that I've never run into anyone quite that... wrong.

Ah, but Rel, in my campaign I now have the opportunity to let Franks char be killed by you as a n alien psychic kraken-monk with a laser-beak and you can have his stuff!

Of course you won't find anything edible in the stack...



Apart from that: thank you, advice taken. I will now have a nice evening with my wife and kid and waste no further thought about the jerk. Tomorrow then I will email the other players.

Better than being the Eternal Cyric - he would've assassinated him, lied about his whereabouts, animated his corpse, dressed it up in women's clothing, and pretended to hold an innocent hostage the next time Tyr or Torm came around.

My mind is odd, sometimes.

This has been my nefarious plan all along. Tell that beyotch to roll initiative!

Personally I would have had words with Frank at the BBQ - you don't take stuff that doesn't belong to you without asking. If the 'muffin incident' happened afterwards he would have been shown the door (before he ate all the muffins). What an ass.

 

[IcyCool]

After eating _all_ muffins my wife baked for the players - he had simply grabbed the plate and when asked to give the other people at least one muffin each the answer was a mumbled "no". I have never seen anyone eat 12 muffins in less than two minutes.

Wow. I think ... yes, I would have bodily thrown him from the place we were gaming after his mumbled reply. It wouldn't matter to me if it were even my house, he'd be going out the door, even if the host decided that I'd be following him.

Maybe ... maybe, I'd have asked him "What did you say?" and given him a chance to correct himself, but that would only be if it were out of the blue or if I thought he were joking. It sounds like you've been having problems with Frank for quite some time before this though.
