[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 7656506, member: 15700"] This Hussar. This right here is why I say they were bullying. Because this is how you describe it. I strongly suggest that those who have said, "I didn't see any negative behavior on the player" or "I don't know why you assume the player was bad" reread this post. You wanted to have a manticore in a forest Your player disagreed and tried rule lawyering you It was a lengthy argument that was memorable You think you should have give in to the player's demands (even though the player was wrong, not you, as has been explained by others above). That seems pretty clear to me that your player was a jerk. Metagaming, arguing over something that wasn't all that important just to get his way, and trying to remove cool ideas because of his mistaken assumptions? Seems pretty clear to me. You can keep the passive aggressive attacks to yourself. Because you'd be totally wrong in your assumptions about me or my "points of view". it's clear that this player was in the wrong. Both quite literally in his assumptions, and in his behavior by arguing the DM at length over it. Folks like yourself might like to call people like me "unhealthy" or "dictatorial" DMs just because we don't give in to every player's every whims, but the fact that folks with similar DM styles as myself (like Jester) always have a line of people wanting to be in our games, and the overwhelming response from fans in the surveys leads me to believe that we're doing a pretty damn good job DMing in that style and that's what people want. The next time you guys wonder why it's so damn hard to find DMs in organized play, cons, or other functions (FLGS owners and WoTC literally have to bribe us), it's because most people don't want to DM if they have people like what Hussar described sucking the fun out of every session. I said it before and I'll say it again. There is a very real reason why rules lawyers have always been held with contempt. Think on that. [/QUOTE]
