[QUOTE="Raven Crowking, post: 2094779, member: 18280"] I am with Empress here. Making someone cry, regardless of the circumstances, should hardly be considered a "magical event." Making someone cry who is trying his best to help and entertain you, specifically because of the way you treated his efforts? That's pretty shameful behavior. Helping someone grow as a DM is a lot harder than playing the fool, so you chose the later. Congratulations. What you should do is apologize to the DM in question. Then make some more reasonable characters...after all, it's pretty obvious that the wizard would have killed your warlock and his friends shortly after your stunt. Then try to help the guy develop his game. Or, at the very least, don't expect him to try to entertain you anymore. RC EDIT: Since you posted while I was writing the above, I thought I would make a quick response to your last post. Regardless of your last post, it seems pretty clear from your earlier posts that you went out of your way to screw up the DM's setup on the very first day he was DMing. The success or failure of a game doesn't lie completely on the DM's shoulders. Players bear an equal responsibility to make the game fun for everyone...DM included. Creating characters who are obviously going to cause problems, or giving them personalities designed to cause problems (and we are not talking about minor quirks that cause role-playing opportunities here...we are talking about game-busting, "look how cool I am," i-deserve-more-time-than-anyone-else-in-this-game type personalities) is an attempt to disrupt the game. Disrupting the first game, on the first day, that your friend is DMing is simply bad form. RC [/QUOTE]
