[QUOTE="Jesus_marley, post: 3393880, member: 24730"] It would appear to me that the behaviour on both yours and his counts borders on childish. The Player appears to be expressing frustration with the fact that he is less than skilled with regards to painting a mini. Adding the BBs shows that he certainly has the imagination but lacks the practice required for a good job. His frustration may be more towards his own lack of skill than towards the "rule" of having a painted mini and he is simply trying to cover that by acting like a goof. The fact that another player offered to "paint one for him" would easily exacerbate that problem. Does that make his mini (or his actions for that matter) appropriate to the table? I would guess no, considering your reaction to it. Now on to you. I think your reaction may have been a little heavy handed. Granted, the mini was inappropriate for the table, but demanding it be removed was a bit much. Other than the stability problem, the player was abiding by the letter, if not the spirit of the rule. I think a better solution would have been to allow the mini for that session with the caveat that the player put more effort into a more appropriate mini and colour scheme for the next session indicating the consequences for not doing so. Also clearly indicate what exactly is appropriate. Essentially, give the guy a warning and boot him if he pulls the same stunt. and tell that you will. As for the player that made and circulated the picture... that was just bad form. [/QUOTE]
