[QUOTE="el-remmen, post: 8309497, member: 11"] There have been a few, but most recently another player in a game I was in spent more time on his phone (mostly playing free-to-play games) than paying attention to what was going on in the game to the point of never being ready when his turn came around in combat and complaining that my live-tweeting the game was "the same" as him being on his phone because I was on my tablet. The fact that live-tweeting meant I paid [I]closer[/I] attention to the game (even when my character was not directly involved) and that I was always ready on my turn meant nothing for him argument-wise. Furthermore, he complained endlessly when anything ever went against us - to the point that I got him a giant eraser printed with the words "NOT AGAIN!" to use to update his hit points on his sheet (he did not appreciate it). He finally quit the game after his character was killed by a night raid of seawolves or some other aquatic lycanthrope on our ship. While we knew it was going to be a tough fight and needed to coordinate, he was mad that when he asked if his character (who had been off-duty and asleep) was in his armor, the DM replied, "Does it seem reasonable that he'd be in his armor now?" which he took as a no. So he spent the 10 rounds or whatever while the rest of us were in the fight for our lives. A couple of the raiders found their way to his cabin (about 6 rounds into his putting on his armor) and after some lucky shots and a crit, he was bleeding out with no one close by to help him. He wrote a long angry complaining email to the DM when he quit complaining that we "play wrong."
