Message: <blockquote data-quote="Traveon Wyvernspur" data-source="post: 5737002" data-attributes="member: 73201">I appreciate all the thoughts/comments/advice from everyone and agree that i probably need to chat with the other player and/or the DM about the situation. I think what annoyed me personally was the reaction to what (in my mind) was a harmless joke that my character was caught in the middle of doing. I think what I had a hard time wrapping my mind around was that I'm more of a "get back at you with something similar jokingly type," I'd never take lethal action against another PC in my group unless struck with murderous intent first (as in this situation). Worst case scenario I'd probably get into a fist-fight or grappling match to sort it out then at the end we'd drink together and our prank issues would be resolved. I've never had a personal problem with the player in question and this is the first actual intra-party conflict that has come to any kind of blows in our group (albeit we are a pretty new group together). I may have gotten a bit carried away out of character after the fact because I felt that the other guy played his character too extremely, which again needs to be sorted out of character with that player and/or the DM to get things back to quasi-normal. I think the thing that disturbed me the most was how much actual intra-party conflict went on after the Wizard was subdued. Our monk and thief got into their own heated exchange and a few words were tossed around. There was a bit of confusion between the two on what was IC and what was OOC, but after they discussed it for a few moments they realized that the thief was going only IC and the monk was the one confused, so the role-played it out nicely.It was actually kind of funny that the Monk's player came up to me after the game and said that it was a really fun game for him with the chaos and drama that unfolded. As an aside, we tried to keep everything in-character during the whole exchange as far as I know (at least I reacted with my cleric the way I felt he should be played), but again the Wizard's player is seemingly a pretty passive aggressive guy with a lot of at-home issues that he's dealing with so that's what made me think he was using his character as a proxy to take out his suppressed rage.After writing all that I've decided to talk to the GM since he is friends with the Wizard's Player and see what he thinks of the situation and ask his advice for how to handle it or just have him talk to the player to see if he wants to continue to play like he has been. I'll let everyone know how it hashes out if they are interested.Thanks,TravSo after I wrote all this stuff I did in fact talk to the GM and he had already decided to kick the player from the group as most of the posters had suggested if it was their game. I didn't ask for him to do it, just voiced my concerns in an email. He thanked my honesty and said that the player just wasn't meshing anyhow. So the situation has been resolved.</blockquote>
