[QUOTE="Zelda Themelin, post: 5627355, member: 167"] Every one I have ever played have whined at some point, but only few of them are total whiners. There was one player who always bought new books and demanded to use stuff in them. And if dm was kind enough to allow it, he picked most overpowered things there were, or could have been, in his case, if he had bothered to read whole text and not just text that told what it allows. He always failed to note where those things didn't work or not work together with some other ability as combo. And then he whined, like little girl (he was man of 24) for them to work as he desired they should. I have habit of whining as well. Not only that, I used to made long whiny written testimonies about things that sucked. I usually had good reason for being pissed, but not reason to go overboard with it. And it didn't help, ever. It doesn't help to get positive result when you try to change something oozing negativity. I got a little better. Ok, a lot, I stopped taking rpg:s so damn seriously. Joviality for win. I had whiny player in sense, that he got seriously affected by some stuff happening at rpg:s he started walking around, and got emotionally overworked and kinda started to beg world stop doing those things to him. We were like "huh", we played pretty usual dungeon grinds at the time, we liked to decribe monster and combat, maybe that was it. I have one played always get whiny when his character gets polymorphed or charmed/dominated or even feared. He hates those things happening so much. I love being dominated (but it's because I am evil ;P and love opportunity of sanctified PvP). There was one player that get utterly whiny and argumative when something he wanted his character to be didn't fit with the world. And he made such character choices purposely. Like his character that was sorcerer and always had failed before to be wizard until he found out his talent. His own background. Then around lv 5 finds a spellbook as part of loot and wants to multiclass wizard. Oh, which he said he never learned. And it was Scarred Lands, where wizard and sorcerer stuff are pretty different. You can't do both. He didn't let go on that idea, and was kicked from that game. He also hated high powered games and made weak character on purpose. Uh. [/QUOTE]
