I know I'm bringing shit from the old thread, but "That Guy" from the thread, kinda reminded me of a That Guy who was at a LGS I used to game at. Essentially would autistically crash everything to a halt (be it his game, your game, conversation, store purchase) to talk about his favorite topics which usually involved him bragging and humiliating people who had different viewpoints or beliefs than he did in scenarios that probably nev er happened as I never saw him speak to anyone outside of the store. To give you an indication of how bad it got, here's a few examples:
>He was an Atheist, and not the reasoned skeptic kind, he'd interupt D&D games to tell Cleric and Paladin Classes that believeing in Gods was stupid, and would corner you if you played 40K to tell you Tau and Necrons were superior as "they dont believe in gods". All with inappropriate violation of body space and burger ring stained teeth.
>He was also a liberal (Normal Kind, not Australian kind) who pretty much borrowed his opinion from Family Guy, and would interupt conversation and games (even ones where politics didn't come up) to tell you how George Bush was stupid and attempt to crack jokes plagiarised from Family Guy or American Dad.
>Would pick up your minis to criticise your modelling/painting (despite his own minis being dipped in metal paint) and would ofteen drop and break them, or get them covered in fucking burger ring dust.
>Also restating, once on a subject, would not drop it. Would literally interupt any and all conversations to talk about it to you (as oppossed with you). I fucking pray to god (both to spite the little shit and the hope a merciful being will listen) that he hasn't discovered/embraced/adopted social justice (I moved before that shit got popular) as it would truly make that situation more unbearable than it already is.

In short we have a guy that was/is just like this at my old FLGS (I don't go there anymore because of this kinda shit).
In short he seemed fine. Then like his sophomore year in high school he found some weird girl, and got really clingy. He would message us on steam saying how he wanted to kill himself. We tried to help him, and he would just do the "yes, but…" response to everything. It was clearly about getting attention, and not actual suicidal thoughts. We kept trying to help, but it just got us no where and more frustrated. So we started to cut him off but that only made him more passive aggressive and shit.

That Guy in my first campaign wrongly convinced he knew game balance better than anyone.
>Played a moon druid
>Gave not one shit about protecting nature, even going so far as to make a mutant race of rat people by pouring magic drugs into the water supply
>Always stoned, took forever to decide what to do (When you're transformed into a bear, why does it take 3 minutes to decide to bite and claw someone?)
>Cheap shit when it came to chipping in for meals
>Relentlessly powergamed, DM didn't notice his rule bending because we were all new
>When he misunderstood the way a rule works and got wrecked for it, complained for days
>Next character was some unholy clusterfuck attempt at a munchkin build
>Too much of an idiot to realize he actually gimped himself massively
>Came up with homebrew spells and abilities to give himself more power, justified it as roleplaying
>When called on his bullshit homebrew by the DM, refused to change it and argued until the DM gave up in frustration
>When I tried to explain how his homebrew is bullshit, he started ranting to me about how much he knows the game. Then I pointed out that he had failed to apprehend the multiclassing rules and was running with way more save proficiencies than he was allowed.
And from what I can tell, he'll probably get worse in the next campaign. It sucks because the DM is making a big homebrew setting that sounds cool but I refuse to play with that guy and I'm kind of the outsider of the group.

>I saw baneposting a while later and I think that session/campaign is why I love it so much.
That Guy tried the same shit at a later session. At this point he was some evil guy that hated nobility or something? This was after he damn well knew they had established ties with a cleric/aristocrat guy and were attending a party. It got jumped by paladins and while That Guy was near dead he decided maybe he'd try to strike down the noble dude who had stood back and was juiced the fuck out with low level cleric magic. All of this was explained to him. Shit like, "no, noble dude looks fine. He's actually pretty buffed up and is beating a low level paladin to death with a heavy flail. You think he might kill you if you stab him?" He pussed out and quit the next session.

>Tries to pick fights with EVERY NPC that is obviously an NPC/potential ally if they don't bow down to him
>Tries to avoid fights, befriend, recruit, save EVERY monster or badguy that is obviously an enemy
The last two really boggle my mind. It's like he's doing it on purpose. Like if the smartest answer is talk and RP, he wants to fight. If the smartest answer is roll initiative and fight the obviously hostile badguy encounter, he doesn't want to fight. He's attacked or bullied every potential ally the party met, and he's actually gotten in the way of another character's attack to protect an Orc who attacked the party and admitted to raiding and killing innocents.
I think everybody feels bad for him because he's socially retarded and terrible at everything, and his character is ineffective. As much of an asshole and retarded as he is, I honestly don't think he's aware of it, but he's so loud and abrasive and idiotic that I think they're probably going to snap even though they're all nice and easy going and kill him soon.

Well I think the term That Guy has broadened to include those situations now as a sort of catch all for people the storyteller doesn't like instead of people that no one would like in their TT group.
The example i gave here >>213220 was of a DM that doesn't have any patience for running campaigns after he plays them up to be some epic campaigns along with a guy who just likes to be a fucking asshole to other players while acting all superior about it. It isn't so much that he is roleplaying a character but that pretty much all his characters are gamed to overpowered loners who will fuck up any party member given a chance.

OP here, our latest session was pretty much the reason why I am still in my group. I actually got to roleplay a significant amount. Now have a new character after retiring my old one for a while. We also didn't have to put up with another anti-climatic, drawn out combat!
That being said, there were still some That Guy moments:
>Serenity the slut keeps harassing Silver for sex. This is after her using Regeneration to heal his dick and a non-artificial heart back. Now the only thing crippling Silver is his terrible multiclassing.
>Ravah still thinks this is 3.5 and is trying to horde up on magic items like the munchkin she is. Ends up becoming a shill for a potion merchant, utilizing her "heroism" back when 300 DRACOLICHS ATTACKED.
>The DM decides to post JayNaylor, without any irony, to describe the appeal Serenity's "booty call" Persuasion check. Thankfully it was mostly ignored. Even then, the DM is threatening to give Serenity a pregnancy if she keeps making it the only aspect of her character.

I have a pathfinder group and our group had the opposite problem. One guy who thinks he understands the game but then makes the worst character, and bitches and moans if you so much as imply he fucked up (and especially when the GM says start over).
>I wanna be a fighter with 9 con!
>Then I wanna multiclass into cavalier, and take options that make sure I never see a mount, the entire point of the class in the first place! Did I also mention I ALREADY too the fighter archetype that gives me the ONE ability I actually want from this class?
>Did I mention my entire setup is much better suited for a rogue or bard? Fuck those classes though!
>Also I spent all of my starting money on useless enchanted shit with incredibly situational utility! I'm so decked out in magic items guys!
>Golly gee Leadership sure is going to be useful in an adventuring party that is constantly on the goddamn move
>An unenchanted rapier on a small race character? Low health, light armor, no shield? Not ranged combat option in sight? Yeah I'm sure I'm going to be a great frontline fighter
>Oh did that character die instantly once they finally got hit? That's ok I'm going to make a magus this time, except instead using fighter/wizard multiclassing.
>Oh did that character get just killed after taking literally one turn of combat? I'm sure it was just bad luck and not the result of refusing to use any spells or magic items and instead rushing into combat to swing your MAGIC SWORD THAT SHOOTS LIGHTNING at things. Again, subpar HP, light armor and no shield for obvious reasons.
>Good news guys I'm going to play a gunslinger/urban druid.
You would think sitting out all the time would drill it into their head that someone else needs to build their character for them, instead of just wandering into the class feature buffet. Instead the GM just decided to give him the boot when he gets insulted over a prebuilt.

Alright, OP back with more That Guy tidbits. In today's story, we're going to talk about someone back in my Pathfinder days. And why I am glad I got kicked out. Anyway:
>Let's call this guy Chucklefuck
>First Pathfinder, or even tabletop game I ever play, Chucklefuck creates what is a Fighter who's a hybrid of Captain America and Archer
>He approaches everything like it's some cruddy Bethesda game and dicks around for the sake of dicking around
>This wouldn't be too bad…if he didn't go out of his way to make the worst decision in every situation.
>First fuck up: The party consists of hired hands to stop the break out of an evil Lich.
>When skeletons start popping out and we start getting outnumbered, Chucklefuck goes out of his way to save the "hot chicks", and not anyone else.
>Had a job to help a real estate wizard clean the house of spooky ghosts, only for Chucklefuck to intentionally light the house ablaze with him torching the highly combustible, giant ooze in the basement.
>Strike three, after we nearly fell to death from harpies and looted their shit,Chuckle Goddamnitwhyareyoudoingthis Fuck decides to slip on an EXTREMELY SUSPICIOUS RING without so much as letting someone examine it.Then he gets sent to a plane of Shadows/Death, and gets slowly clawed to death by wraiths. A fitting end. The only way to redeem himself is by letting his soul get consumed by a serpent god in order to help us with the big bad. Things go a little better with his rogue. He basically fucked the Lich because "LOL bonded focus" didn't even allow him to cast his spells. The Alchemist then proceeded to somehow use the staff of meteors and utterly destroy the boss. Campaign as a whole wasn't that really climatic.
>Skip to the homebrew Pathfinder campaign, Chucklefuck isn't too unbearable
>Once again though, his character has be try and be funny EVERY DAMN SECOND.
>Gets himself killed simply by neglecting to heal the tiniest bit, and the animated statue does just enough to kill him outright because of it.We hire some hands to revive him or something (my memory isn't 100% clear with this story, it was a while ago) and is character fucked off to explore somewhere else.
The things get really bad when DM has to retire the homebrew campaign and does Ravenloft for the second. Let me tell you about the stupidest things that happened:
>First time, we split our party of four
>One of our members didn't tell us this was a bad idea for hte sake of not "metagaming" despite the fact this was my friend and I's second game playing EVER
>Chucklefuck is once again trying to play a comic book character, this time it's the Question as a rogue.
>Does absolutely fuck all in combat, and that's not just because he's a rogue in PF. He constantly does checks that should be reserved for when we're not getting attacked.
>He even goes as far as try and sneak around a swamp monster…by trying to swim under very shallow swamp water with a breathing reed.
>Campaign ends when Strahd reveals that he's had complete control over the party this entire time, and we watch as the Rogue gets stabbed through the gut. This was after being found trying to sneak inside the coffin…he somehow locked himself in.
Second Ravenloft campaign story will wait. Also coming up: The Mutants and Masterminds 3e campaign which everyone was That Guy, including me!

Don't try so hard to be good at something. Just have fun at no expense to the others. Even if your characters aren't the greatest just enjoy the expierance and try to learn from it.
I used to be a big bookworm in my first group. I used to be constantly reading books in the middle of the session. It was part that I tried to plan out the path I wanted my character to take and part that the rest of the group would constantly get sidetracked on frat boy humor. I was big on making intricate backstories for characters and not role playing them correctly. I ended up leaving the group after a guy threw a balled up tin foil wrapper at me. The guy was tired of me reading rule and splat books during the session when they were constantly telling your momma or thats what she said jokes.
During the time away from role playing I used to go on 4/tg/ before it got bad. From there I learned that really with role playing the number 1 rule is to have fun. If you aren't having fun then something needs to change. If it is one person you got to approach that person or the DM about it. If it is the group maybe the group isn't right for you.
If it is you though you might want to take a look at what is going wrong. You should talk to other players and get their input. A lot of times it is just in your head and there is no real problem outside lack of confidence. Also a lot about doing well at role playing is to learn to roll with what the DM does along with noticing trends with the DM or other players. Also you got to worry less about being good stat wise or role playing wise and more about being a good person that people enjoy to have at the table.
Be the person who laughs things off. Be the guy who is there for others when they have a rough time. Be the guy who shrugs off unfair treatment but lets people know that it isn't right. Don't worry so much about the character but more about the people you are playing with. You are all there to have fun for them and most of all for you.
So do yourself a favor and don't worry about what the group deserves. It will come to you in time on how to be a great player if you focus on making the game fun for everyone.

Th-that's not what it was, guys. Promise. Kinda fucked up the greentext story; looking back, it really does sound like I was blaming him for my character being shit.
That my character sucked was not the problem. Well, at least it wasn't the that-guy-problem. That was the system failing me, and it's not the first time that happened. When I try to think of what went wrong when I created the character, all I can think of is that I was naive enough to believe lizardmen were in any way useful. They aren't. I don't blame him for that.
What I do blame him for are three things: Blatant powerbuilding, not being able to roleplay worth shit, and stealing the spotlight from everyone.
He knows we're roleplayers and guys trying to have fun. He still sits down and creates the deadliest character I have ever seen. Trying to surpass our powerlevel? Not neat. He knew the group, he knows we don't approve of shit like that. Not sure if any other group here works like that.
As for him roleplaying, he just sucks at it, but doesn't realize it. He never goes beyond describing quirks of his character. Dwarven doctor? He's greedy. Wolf shaman? He's acting like a wolf. Honorable knight? Always prepared for battle! Also, she's a knight.
What sucked the most during that round, though, was by far the spotlight-thing. Some of it was due to his powerbuilding, which - as I described - is something you just shouldn't do in our group. It wasn't just the character, though; it was him. Like I said, when his character was dead, he was still showing us pictures on the internet and telling us what our characaters should do. If he hadn't done that, I would've just remembered that round as yet another case of The Dark Eye being shit, switched to a new character and called it a day.

Sage for doublepost.
I'm also gamemastering a game of Eclipse Phase, with pretty much the same group. Last time, the group had a combat encounter. His character stayed out of it and was just floating around. The problem was that every single round, I had to tell him how far away he was from the group now, like that had any tactical relevance whatsoever. Then he filmed the fucking fight, making sure the authorities were after us. And THEN he complained during the next round that our group was too whacky, after he livestreamed them committing what was legally a murder for the lulz.
Then he was a gamemaster himself, one time. That was the worst. We played Pathfinder online. He added another player in without asking us first, and the guy eventually ended up screaming at me because I'm pissing him off. Everyone - including That Guy - told me I had done nothing to provoke him. And that's why you shouldn't just add random people to the group only you know. As for scheduling the thing, my older sister had to tell him three times she couldn't play on thursdays, because she'll have no internet on thursdays. He told her to go to the library with her notebook (that's a one-hour drive), even though he has time on the weekend and we could've easily played on saturdays. He didn't want that, though. As far as he was concerned, him wanting to have a free weekend was a good reason not to play on a saturday, but my older sister having no internet connection unless she spends one hour on public transport just to sit in a public library was no reason not to play on thursday.
My point being, he's just a dick overall. I always played with him because he used to be my best friend and he introduced me to P&P in the first place, but eventually, he acted more and more like a dick. He also spent the one day him and I used to spend together since we were kids with a girl that wasn't even interested in him, and didn't tell me about it. When my older sister told him I was angry about it, he said he "almost felt sorry" for me. And that gave it the rest.

So some of that does sound kind of That Guy-ish to me, and
>His player keeps looking for pictures online to show the group, distracting us all
is a giant red flag. There's no excuse for that.
But personally, I don't understand being mechanically effective as a problem.
If part of the concept of my character is that he's a fighter guy who is good with swords, in "Gamist" games there would be a correct way to make a character who is really good with swords or whatever, so why would I not use the mechanics to best support that concept?
Maybe my perspective is skewed or my experiences limited, but whenever I hear someone complain about powergaming, it always seems like "Hey, I don't understand the character-building minigame, but rather than learn it, I would prefer if other people also made decisions as if they didn't understand it," but do you understand that's actually really difficult? If you can see the Matrix it's hard to ignore it, and it's almost impossible to sort of guess how to make a guy who's good with swords, but not too good.
It's like failing a test or project on purpose when you know the correct answers without making it look like you threw the fight. Or better yet, if you know how to draw a really good portrait, try to draw a bad portrait without obviously making it look like you drew a bad portrait.
I think people who don't get the char-building mini game of RPGs have this impression that people who do get it sit around like "Mu wa ha ha, how can I show up these peons? Let me plan out my evil plot of mechanically effective character building!" But it's actually more like we see a spot on the quiz where it asks us what 2x3 is, and we just write 6 without thinking and move on because it's the correct answer.

Powergaming mostly is either:
1) Bullshit homebrew rules that allow people to have it easy
2) Characters using OOC knowledge to become gods
Example of 1: "My character is a Rakshasa and has (insert invented feat here) with the downside of (insert meaningless downside here)"
Example of 2: "I'm going to make a hybrid of thisclass/thisotherclass and i'm going to use bestraceforthis, after that i will find thisspell/item/creature/whatever that a level 1 guy couldn't possibly know of and basically become god"
Another example of 2 would be a necromancer that perfectly know the ritual to become a lich without spending actually IC time to study and research on the actual ritual.
I really doubt anyone would put you at fault if you made an half-orc barbarian when you roll a character with high strenght and constitution.

He's not really THAT guy, but he's irritating during the game because he's SO SLOW. For the first two or so months, each of his turns in battles took up half an hour or more, because he always had to ask questions "what do I roll to attack, who do I attack, how much can I move, can I move here" and then half the time he realized "well I don't wanna move there anymore", so he'll plan a new route. And when he's done moving, Then he'll think about what he wants to do. He didn't even plan whether he's going to attack melee or shoot a bow or do something else. For the first two or so sessions the DM allowed him to move back, but then after that, the DM said he has to think about what he wants to do before he moves.
After a while, he got into it. He was still a bit slow, but not as much as before. A few minutes instead of thirty.
But then a new campaign started up. And he chose a new class.
Back to square one because he doesn't know how spellcasting works. Thirty minute turns every time. Currently he's speeding up but dear lord it's irritating. He plays his character well in RP, but when it's time for battle he seems to zone out until it's his turn, and then starts deciding what he wants to do, meanwhile players are planning their movement and already know what they wanna go for. I love the guy, he's one of my closer friends, but sometimes I just wanna scream "Hurry up"

The REAL "that guy" is the one who always tries to make unattractive, underdog characters who does stupid shit and then gets pissed/offended/takes it personally when no one (player or character) likes his characters. When he does go off, the DM shuts him down pretty quickly by bluntly stating the facts. He still lets it show in game, through his character though. Which makes the characters dislike his even more. And ends up being circular.
He also thinks a character having odd quirks/being kooky = having depth.

And also, OOC he's stated that he, as in, the player, hates beautiful characters. But all his ugly, underdog characters tend to stick up the pretty characters' asses (the drow, the fighter, the druid, who were all attractive in appearance), then he hates it when they hate his character.

I actually have a confession about a That Guy quirk of my own. When I see a heterosexual player playing a character of a different gender than what the player actually is in an RP-heavy game, I always treat the player like they're transgender. Like I'll straightface ask Mike what his "preferred pronouns" are, and then refer to him as "her" all the time anyway, even after he's like "Dude, my name is Mike. I'm a guy."
Like I'll try to act the role of the SJW who is just very embracing of their transgenderness and open minded and progressive and shit, even though they're not actually trans.
Every single time, EVERY single time a player plays a crossgender character they turn out to be a randumblol instigator, or a "I want to be the little girl," or some magical realm bullshit, or they're just some dumb bro who wants to play a trope of some slutty lesbian or whatever, so in the end I will feel less like a That Guy and a little justified in my decision to be an ass towards them.
But the truth is that I will decide to treat them that way even if I don't know they're going to deserve it because I think an adult male pretending to be a female is fucking stupid and it brings out my That Guyness.

That's actually a really, really good argument. It's not like I set out to create mediocre characters myself. I don't abuse loopholes either, though. Taking a disadvantage that makes you more effective in combat? Sounds like abusing a loophole to me. Or abusing the armor-stacking in Eclipse Phase. That's something I wouldn't do, because it's obviously something the creators didn't think through. Stacking bonuses to make myself the best at what I do is fair game, though, and I don't mind it when other players do something like that.

>Making every combat encounter they're involved in feel like a goddamn escort quest isn't conducive to fun.
This happened during many of my adventures with a particular GM. I tended to get wounded a lot, and then had to stay out of any major fighting. My character had little in the way of armor and wasn't as tough as the orc, so of course it would hit me. He was a decent fighter AND rogue, but still the worst fighter in the group.
Anyway, escort missions happened, and to be honest, I blame the GM for not giving me enough arrows and not giving us enough healing potions, because, according to him, healing potions were rare in the setting. He cared more about "realism" than he did about making the adventures fun for us, except when he added in monsters that don't even appear in the setting, as a stupid joke. Like treasure chests that tried to eat me.
>It was a shining treasure chest in a ruined building, anon! What did you expect?
And THIS is why I don't feel bad about blaming this particular GM: Getting hurt badly was often my choice, like this one time my character pissed at the statue of a god, making the temple explode with wrath. That was totally my fault. But treasure chests that try to eat me? That was low!
I should add: With the GM not describing the fight scenes in any detail, NPC interaction often being bland, and the system being generally shit, pissing at divine statues was our ONLY entertainment.

Time for the next part of my story:
The Labyrinth of Disjointed Token Scooting
After Shadowfell's nonsense, the party takes a 30 day downtime. Our cleric Rage takes his time to forge a minor enchantment on Ravah's Glaive (Although it doesn't matter because Ravah has over 7 magic goddamn items now).
The DM roles the downtime dice, and the first thing is that our party bard decides to approach xer rival with the dignity of the rabid raccoon they are. Xe gets thrown in jail for fucking up xis rival's house. Keep in mind this behavior is after the fucker wanted to make bone weapons out of Ravah's vampire Cambion"twin sister".
Some surprisingly interesting things happened. Serenity rolled on a romance event that turned into a love triangle with Silver and a character from long ago. The party also got an entire level up on top of the one we already had from the fight thanks to successful training.
Unfortunately, that training did not come with any mental improvements for our actual players, and not even the DM. We go as far south as south goes…and we didn't even prepare for the fucking freezing weather. It's not like it mattered anyway because our DM forgot about the party's exhausted conditions anyway. Wanna know why? It took way too fucking long to do anything.
You think that walking through the maze would be a choice of direction and role when it was needed, but no, that would be too easy. Our DM now has to use the Roll20 board for goddamn everything, and make all of us drag our characters through the tunnels. We had several people accidentally delete their tokens in this nonsense, and it took fucking almost all the session just to get to the fucking first puzzle. Also, party splits up again because guess what? We gotta solve the puzzles to find our monk and the one who started it all: the fucking goddamn piss wizard raccoon furfaggot with the foresight of Elmer Fudd getting themselves caught in a teleporting chest trap.
After more dealing with fiddling with our fucking tokens and things taking way longer than they should, we finally get to working on escaping. Our monk named Calla had the brain to actually contribute to her own escape. I was stuck with Silver, Derrin and Serenity.
You wanna know how we got Cosette out? The wall of force I wasted several spell slots trying to dispel it. Our time was too short to try and search for the "powersource". After I suggested we use detect magic to find the source, only one particular section of the wall was actual magic. Our DM ended up letting us hamfistedly slam our weapons to break the nonmagical two foot stone walls…
We then get to the physical part of the challenge: fighting a Balor.We take it out in almost 1 round thanks to us being way too big and overleveled of a party. Of course, the reason why our party can't do anything designed for our level rears its head. Ravah, of all people, not only wastes her fucking turn trying to Scorching Ray the Balor with her Circlet, but she fucks us all.
Even when our dwarf cleric, the goddamn Ravah apologist himself, tells the plan to get out of range of the Balor so we can snipe out of it's kaboom range, Ravah decides to set it off when SHE WAS THE ONE WHO TOLD US IT EXPLODES WHEN IT DIES. All because "muh character". At this point even Silver and Rage were pissed. Serenity instantly went to zero, and everyone who didn't have fucking crazy Bear Totem resistance or crazy good Dex saves went below half health.
We are now fighting a swarm of ice devils immediately after and I basically have to hope Serenity actually pays attention enough to do her job as a healer rather than swing around a maul that she shouldn't even have proficiency in and can't hit anything with.
That's not even including the tidal wave of cringe that happened in the group chat.

When her husband and I brought up that she was a rich noble stealing from famine ridden farmers, she got really defensive at us and basically complained that we were making things "too serious"
>Landwhale would often bitch and moan at us for not knowing anything about "modern day real politics" and whenever shit came up in town that required our decision making, she would say that we needed to let the supreme court handle it.
>Group had to remind Landwhale about 6 times that we were in a medieval settlement outside of the empire's protection, she would get super pissed saying that it was stupid and generally derail the whole game for 30 minutes
>Landwhale would generally bitch about being the only girl in the group, and how no one played things outside their gender. Despite the fact that she always played female, and pretty much EVERYONE in the group had played as both a male or female character at some point
>Landwhale had a tendency to stop the whole game if things weren't going her way, and would try and apply bullshit logic to everything to make sure nothing bad would happen to her
>Landwhale never payed attention to anything in the game outside of her characters, and group would often have to halt the game to explain what was going on and where we were.
>Never read the fucking rulebook, would often argue with GM iff she thought a rule was dumb or if she didn't understand it
>Never listened to anybody
>Kept wanting to be the "main character" and would often hog the spotlight whenever she could.

Last time we played, he told me he wants a new character, because I nerfed his one. How did I nerf it? Simple: I fucked up reading the swarm rules and allowed him to auto-hit in close combat. I also underestimated how reliable invisibility was. So, what I did was I gave him an Exotic Melee: Swarm skill, at 80 (of 100), and I told him that yes, with invisibility enabled, he is completely invisible, not just mostly.
Now, mind you, improving his close combat skill to 80 would've cost him 80 creation points, out of 1000. That's a huge investment in Eclipse Phase. For these costs, you can become a fucking psyker. I brought him down from "too powerful" to "still too powerful, but acceptable", and he complains.

Him auto-hitting was not only way overpowered, it also wasn't consistent with either the fluff or the crunch. He doesn't even participate in combat encounters, he stays back and does his own shit while the rest of the group suffers. It's simple vanity on his part.
As for my style and attitude, you can trust me that I'm much, MUCH less vitriolic during the games than I came across in that comment. Things I let players get away with during the game:
>Playing with their smartphones
>Knitting
>Giving me tips on how to be a better gamemaster
>Complaining that I didn't explain something, even though I did
One of those was from a girl diagnosed with ADD, all other three are from him. I didn't lash out once. I wasn't even acting annoyed by this, although it did annoy me. It were other players that told him off. Even that knitting-girl had fun, somehow. The only one who consistently complains about me is him.
I am pretty pissed at him now, for reasons partially unrelated to traditional board games. His general douchiness has simply reached critical mass:
>Hypocritical (tells me our group isn't roleplaying serious enough, but he never roleplays)
>Constant smartass (I know the exact youtube videos he gets his swordfighting-trivia from)
>Never apologizes or even admits his mistakes
>Hasn't talked to my older sister in months, even though they were friends since childhood, because he just doesn't care

The first story that comes to mind is about a guy who we'll call Trevor. Trevor was the kind of player that would sperg out almost every time someone did something to him in-character that he didn't like and took it as a personal affront. Sometimes somebody wouldn’t even be deliberately doing something to his character and he’d get out of character pissy about how they were being mean to him. Now it's very important to note that we had a policy that in-character angst and all in-character drama was to stay IN-CHARACTER and not to be taken as personal. For the most part, everyone could get behind this rule except Trevor. We all kind of felt bad for him though so when he would freak out we’d just give him a verbal warning and have him sit out for a few minutes.
He was your typical run of the mill sperglord. He was a "steampunker" if you can call gluing a gear to a top hat and wearing a trench coat steampunk. He was also a brony and bi-sexual and was dating a MtF tranny (the tranny was actually pretty chill and we all liked him/her/whatever more than any of us ever liked Trevor which I guess isn‘t saying much since Trevor was CHUD tier). Every one of his characters was annoying or creepy in a bad way. One example is he had made a Nosferatu detective who’s clan weakness manifested so that he reeked like pungent, awful shit, making him effectively useless as a detective because even if he was hiding you wouldn’t need to have enhanced senses to know that the awful shit smelling Nos was nearby. The character might have been salvageable as comic relief if the player actually possessed any semblance of a sense of humor and didn’t always try curry favor by offering his ‘skills’ at every pause in the conversation.
His worst character ever was when we were all gearing up for a semester long Hunter campaign. There were about twenty of us at this point and everyone teamed up in groups of 3-4 and collaborated to make interesting hunter cells. I made damn well sure I had my group mates picked out before Trevor came crawling asking to be in my cell. The unfortunate players that got stuck with him all tried not to act super bummed about it, but the character he made was despicable. It was some kind of bipolar transsexual who’s thing was that she was ‘super hot and likeable’ and would always flirt with everybody to try and get her way. The storytellers by this point in the org’s history of dealing with Trevor were just like “fuck it we’ll roll with it just pls behave”.

No.223149

So the day of first game comes up and all the hunter cells get a mysterious invite to meet at an observatory at the edge of town. Eventually all of the player characters are there and we’re given some time to roleplay. Nobody in the room knows any of the other people in the room outside of their own cell and it’s a very tense atmosphere as everyone is armed in some form or fashion and half of the hunters in the room (including me and my cell) are fighting every instinct that‘s telling them that this is a trap. Some people are introducing themselves, mingling, posturing, asking for answers. While all this is happening Trevor’s character is walking around being generally annoying.
Suddenly, a plot-driving NPC enters the room and thanks us all for coming and begins speaking to us all. It’s a circular room and he’s stepped out into the middle, so all of the hunter cells are now posturing, trying to muscle in on a good spot to hear what this man has to say and to not look like bitches to the other hunters. Still very fun and tense until all of a sudden “Jason, you’re in the way”. It’s Trevor, addressing one of my cell-mates not by his character’s name, oh no, but by his real name. Keep in mind, for us OOC is not allowed outside of a designated room we had with exceptions for important issues and rules clarifications. He repeats “JASON.” and by now he‘s cutting off our storyteller who‘s mid monologue as the NPC, so I turn to Trevor as I’m standing right next to him and I say something along the lines of, “Who the fuck is Jason? Shut up and listen to what this man has to say”.
This starts to make him mad and he says “Jason is standing in my way I can’t see anything.” By now Jason has turned around and in-character smiles at him and says something along the lines of “My name is Doctor so-and-so., and if it’s bothering you so much, why don’t you move?” and Trevor fires back, nearly fuming at the mouth, with something like, “NO JASON, YOU’RE BLOCKING ME OUT OF THE CIRCLE.”. It kept going and he even complained to the storyteller who was literally standing right there witnessing him sperg out. Some people were now trying to salvage the scene still in-character but you could practically see the wind getting sucked out of each player one-by-one. Most of them were used to Trevor’s outbursts but he’d never done anything this embarrassingly spergy during game before. It got to the point where the storyteller had to pause the scene and take Trevor out of the game for a while so we could fucking actually get through the introduction to the damn game.

The short answer is that, sometimes, there isn't a better option.
The longer answer is that there are a number of circumstances that might cause a group to be unable to kick out a certain problem member. Tabletop is a worldwide hobby, but isn't as popular as others. This means that, for the most part in situations like these, the local group is too small or too tight-knit to throw out the one person that completes it (since many rpgs require a total group of five and are designed around the "1 GM, 4 players" model.) Other situations that might grant That Guy ban immunity can also include:
>That Guy is also host, having the most viable space to play at
>That Guy is only That Guy at the table, and is otherwise a good friend
>That Guy is key member of local gaming community/group, which means his ban could cause social fallout for those that instigate (though this is a pretty rare situation, but often means the end of a group if it happens)
Many folks like to preach "No game is better than a bad game," and this is a mostly true saying. And That Guy can certainly make a game bad. But, much like shitty coworkers, you sometimes just have to deal with folks you don't like to get what you want.

So last night I left my D&D group I had been with for a while. I had been struggling with it because of how I just want to play roleplaying games face to face in a consistent group. Problem is that the group had turned into a day care pretty much with 5 kids in the group 2 preteens and 3 ranging from 5-7 years of age.
The preteens were for the most part weren't bad. One was stupid evil and did stuff that put himself at odds with the party because he was playing evil and not doing a good job at it. He was really chill about the way I dealt with his character though. Mostly it was around the situation that he was told to watch someone but instead killed the guy and was dumb enough to go back to his room when he was suppose to watching the guy and I heard him going into his room. I found the person he was suppose to be watching with his throat slashed open by a dagger which his character used. I rounded up the party and we discussed what to do which ended up being arresting him. We stopped the game and asked him if this was ok with him and the player said he was fine with his character getting arrested. So we arrested him and because we didn't want to make him reroll a character let his character out on parole being watched over by my character (the neutral good cleric) to make sure he didn't do anything evil. Generally that was the only really notable time there was something that happened with him. They were not always the best of players but they were pretty fun. They especially shaped up when this dad brought his 3 children to play.
The dad first showed up and played with us for about a month before bringing his children. He seemed cool although he felt to me that he purposely detached himself to a supporting cast role which is fine but in retrospect seemed a telling sign of things to come. He played a healing cleric which pretty much was only good at healing or wisdom based skill checks which was useful in itself. Still that pro outweighed the bad when he brought his 3 children to the game. First off he talked about bringing his children but he never specified how many, how old they were, or if it was ok to bring that many to the game although my DM would have said anything because she is too much of a pushover. We had figured it was like 2 children at the most and probably preteens like the ones we already had. Instead he brought 3 kids who were all under the age of 10.

The boy was like 4 or 5 and the 2 girls were 7-9. The boy was detached from the game either playing on his tablet the whole time or playing with dice. He was not involved in the game at all besides being told to roll the dice when it was his characters turn. Essentially he was a NPC party member and paper thin personality one at that. One of the girls was min maxer of sorts only interested in doing lots of damage and killing stuff. She would constantly complain if there was nothing to kill. This made it really hard for me to role play because she would interrupt in the middle of us talking in character to complain how things were boring and she wanted to kill stuff. Many times too she would bring toys to the game and play those instead of paying attention. Also because of her and how she got tired around 9p when our group started around 7p because of that is when the children and dad showed up we ran short sessions every week because she would get fussy so in order to progress we pretty much had to railroad stuff hard with little roleplaying and just jumping from one encounter to the next. When she wasn't tired though she was very over the top. She during one session had grabbed onto my arm in person and pretty much was hanging on me. The other girl was really sort of into role playing but sort of really childish roleplaying go figure she wanted to make everything her pet and also after hearing about another player had secretly started a cult she wanted to start one too. She did this in a really bad way by yelling at npc's to join her cult and in character talking about how it was a devil cult and stuff like that. She also wouldn't leave me alone at times. I explained to her my character was not one who liked to talk to people. she was a sun elf who didn't like dealing with people who weren't sun elves but I planned for her to warm up the party through roleplaying that never happened She kept on pestering me and then insulting my character. I ended up losing composure by sort of reciprocating the gestures making her cry. Still after the first time she kept on going on about my character and I lost it again causing her to breakdown a second time. I know this was my bad in the majority but the Dad and the DM did nothing to separate us or defuse the situation. I was sort of stuck in my seat as there was no other seats to move to but the dad could have easily moved seats with his daughter to stop this situation.
I understand that children will be children so I don't really hold it against any of them for their actions. The dad though for bringing those kids to a game with no forewarning or taking the consideration of people who was playing at the table was inconsiderate. Unfortunately the rule of the store was that DMs were those who were suppose to handle problems within the group as a mediator. Unfortunately the DM did nothing during all the time this was going on when I asked for her to do something about it and I had hints of what was going on but no proof until last night when I left.
The week before they talked about going to the dad's place to play since Wednesdays became sort of packed in the store. Originally it was D&D night with 2 groups. Recently though a witcher roleplaying test group showed up along with a group playing mage. This ended up with our group which was 8 people generally and if any new player showed it would go higher having trouble getting enough space to play. The dad suggested playing at his place instead and the DM liked the idea which I was horrified of. From experience with cousins and being in houses of young children that generally they are more misbehaved in their place of residence. Already these children were ruining my fun and I cant say for sure but it seemed that other players were becoming detached with the game too playing around with phones and dice or getting in side conversations. So the idea of going to their place was where I drew the line. So yesterday I showed up and told the DM I was done and if she wanted I was going to run a Dark Heresy campaign on Tuesday.

After I left one of my friends who were playing in the other group texted me. He told me about how the DM of his group and mine high fived over me leaving. They though try to keep it secret why they were so happy a secret from the rest of the group although my friends heard. Later on one of the kids said a minecraft figurine could be my character but only if the character was more friendly which made the DM laugh. It was shocking to hear this especially since I tried my best to be a nice player and person. I had bought pawns and a map to help with fights where we needed to map it out. I also many times bought snacks for the group even allowing some people who weren't in the group to have some. I told her that if there was any problem with me to talk to me because I will work on fixing it. Instead she talked behind my back and celebrated when I left. inb4 >she
So I guess the point is am I the That Guy or do I just have shitty luck with DMs at this current store I hang out at? The other D&D DM comes onto here and shitposts about me and picks a fight with /tg/. Hopefully I will have better luck running my Dark Heresy campaign as I will be able to set the rules and deal with problems myself.

I would agree with this. The most common instance I noticed is the friend scenario.
I had one friend who was a massive that guy and another who kind of was a little bit of a that guy. The minor one left after one game because he wanted a more serious game when the rogue trader game we were playing was kind of meant to be more silly and never played with us again since he thought all of our games would not be serious enough. The other that guy was similar that he did not like anything to do with story, conversation, or anything outside of combat or overt grimdark. He hated my character since I played an ork mekboy runtherd who would use cyborg squigs and would also have a habit of orking up enemy shit if given the chance which would lead to results where they could barely get the things to work. My character and another players tech priest would also get into a lot of banter over who could make better weapons, armor, upgrades, etc. All in all it was a fun game, but the that guy would try to ruin it at every turn. He would powergame his priest to try and make him the best member at combat, as he though priests would get spells in 40k and was mad they did not. He also would find every single splatbook story we were working on to find out what would happen in each one, a trait he continued to do for every game he was in. He would try to passive aggressively get my ork and any of the player characters who liked him in game to get killed. This lead to the most common targets being my ork and the actual captain of the ship.
Later games of M&M resulted in him trying to make his hero overpowered rather than have a theme to it. He pretty much made the game a chore to play. Another instance of his shit was when he ruined a game I was DMing. We were playing a game of CoC, and he happened to read the story I was using to DM and proceeded to spoil it for everyone consistently to try and make the game shorter. I ended up changing everything in at the last minute to just make the house haunted by a spirit possesing a Nintendo or something. I kind of gave up and just ended up making CoC Scooby Doo for the next few games rather than use an official story.

The store owner is a cool guy and he actually wants to be in my Dark Heresy group just he has to do work stuff so he can't. The guy started all this hating over a a post he saw 3 weeks after I posted it about the other worker at the store. The summation was that he would talk about gender politics at point and i didn't agree with them so I wouldn't talk to him about it. The guy who made that thread took that as talking shit behind people's back without naming names and on anonymous imageboard and went ballistic. I had sort of saved that thread for proof of how it went. I talked to the worker and we actually have better relations but it isn't good enough for that guy. He talks shit about me aloud but like moves far away whenever I get close to him.
The things that possibly be what sets these two off were:
>My first character of the group was a human ranger who was racist against orcs and half orcs which the only one in the group joined later after me and was an evil half orc warlock played by a woman. I think they took the in game out of game and placed that somehow i was sexist or something.
That guy constantly would get bored of stuff and just do his own thing which would screw with the party. He decided to attack the group we were sent to watch and I confronted him in character about it but I didn't want to start pvp so I backed off because he had been texting me about how he will kill my character if I tried to stop him.
Later he tried to burn down a house of a guy who ran away. I was playing my good cleric so was opposed to this and he again threatened me with pvp if I tried to stop him. I ended up casting create water to put out the fire in which he attacked me but more of the group was on my side so we ended up beating them. He ended up quitting that group after that.
I played in his campaign because it sounded fun but I didn't realize how badly the other players would handle having a deck of many things. The goal was to throw it into a Mount Doom volcano. Lets just say a lot of people ended up rerolling characters in relation to the deck along with other stuff that guy threw at us which seemed very harsh a lot of the time. The final time I played I had rerolled a new character who doing a revolution against the kingdom that was constantly antagonizing the group. The other players went and pulled from the deck a lot of times and one of the players took one of my paladin's followers and made him draw from it killing the follower. It was at this point I realized the game plot was really spinning in circles over the deck. That guy had been pitching the idea of starting the Prince of Apocalypse campaign instead but I had been vocally against it before. With this realization I decided to text him about how I'm not against doing it anymore. He told me about how players liked the current campaign and it was rude for me to stop them having fun. I was not all there at the time just feeling down and stuff over the last session so I mistook some of the stuff he said as stuff he heard from another player I had talked to. I accused him and the other guy of talking behind my back which I realized my mistake and apologized over. I told him I was just in bad mood and I will see if I will feel better next week.
He then found that old post about the worker and went totally crazy here. I have it sort of saved although in hindsight I should have archived the page so it would keep its format. I ended up texting the other DM and telling her about what happened and she let me play in her game which I had been doing until now.
I told her at the time if she had any problem with me please tell me but she never did. I only found out about that girl crying thread because i heard her and that guy whispering behind my back and clearing heard '<anon> will never learn'. I archived that thread so as evidence of what his actions because he calls me a meth head which is uncalled for.

A Day In The Magical Hellscape
Before the drag of a session that was the Labyrinth, I witnessed a very…"interesting" conversation in the OOC Skype. It was the kind of conversation that my sensibilities begged to turn away from. But my eyes were magnetized to the degeneracy that revealed itself.
I don't remember who in damnation started the conversation, but I do know the first one eager to jump in. Cosette, even when not very long ago they preferred to keep their "fetishes private". Now not only do I realize this fuck's a playing as a fursona insert…
…he's the absolute worst of the worst kind of furry. An infantile-playing, diaperfag, LITERAL PISS WIZARD. I seriously though all of the mentions of Cosette pissing xerself were shoddy jokes at most. NOPE.
Then the fucking DM goes ahead and start sharing his sex stories. Not only does he go into specific detail, but he's pretty much bragging about his magic fingers. Also, both the DM and Cosette posted their f-lists.
And even our dwarf cleric shared some sex stories and fetishes. At least Calla didn't go into the overtly gross details. Unlike Ragebrood, who's tales included "farting in the middle of a blowjob". Silver's earned a lot of respect for me simply by his character actually not putting up with Ravah's shit.
As much as I respect Calla for being the one party member who understands where I'm coming from when I say "RAVAH TRYING TO BECOME QUEEN OF THE ABYSS IS A FUCKING TERRIBLE IDEA", she was also a bit too eager for everyone to spit out their fetishes. (albeit without that level of loudness and bluntness). Needless to say part of me deserves this hell because I'm a bit of an autistic degenerate as well. But I refuse to ever become a furry.
After that, I got myself into hot water with some of the party. Ravah, Cosette, and Ragebrood jumped on me for pointing out the very obvious of what's going wrong with this party. I get it, your characters aren't the most upstanding citizens. But there's a difference between making a mistake for "muh character" and having the foresight of a toddler. There are also consequences for your character repeatedly getting on the bad side of other characters who actually have a moral compass and a spine.

Trevor actually did get removed from the group for a semester or two before the hunter game by means of one ruthless bitch who hated him and let him know it and a more diplomatic guy in the org who kind of looked like Saul Goodman and dressed like an 80s cocaine dealer (we all actually liked that guy, he was funny as fuck and had great stories), but after that semester was over our lead storyteller had a little bit of a spaz attack, worrying that we didn't have enough players and invited him back.
The reason the rest of us didn't want to kick out Trevor was because his shenanigans were annoying but mostly harmless to the rest of us. To put it in perspective, it would be something akin to beating up a stray dog because he has mange.
>>223218
I can't remember anything else noteworthy about Trevor at the moment, but let me rewind a semester to when we played VtR. This was the same game in which Trevor had his stinky Nos detective but this story is about another guy who we’ll call Mitch, a guy who I actually knew from highschool and from another college org that he actually founded (and was kicked out of).
Mitch first joined our org a semester before-hand where we played a really fun game of VtM as a fledgling Anarch state made up almost completely of freshly turned neonates. He had an interesting Asamite concept and was pretty chill for most of the semester, and when the time came around for us to pick who we wanted to be in coteries with for the VtR game, I decided it would be cool to have him on the team because we were going to be focusing heavily on politics and he had a super hard-on for legalities and making documents like constitutions and stuff. The people in my coterie were going to be trying to control the city, so it seemed like it would be good to have someone with that skill set.
The coterie ended up consisting entirely of high up Invictus members including myself being the brother and right hand man of the current Prince, a wannabe harpy who owned a successful hotel chain (played by the same ruthless bitch who had Trevor removed the first time) and Mitch, who ended up playing a sort of oil tycoon if I remember correctly whose back story was basically‘I did everyone favors and everybody likes me and respects me and I’m the oldest vampire in the city’. This should have been a red flag but it went ignored until the first game.

I unfortunately was not there for the first game, or else things might have turned out very, very differently. But the way it was explained to me by the storytellers and by my fellow coterie mate was this: The Prince of the city, my brother (who was an NPC stand-in as the storytellers wanted leadership to evolve naturally) gathered everybody into Elysium and announced that something very dangerous and ominous was coming to destroy the city and its inhabitants. He then proceeded to commit career suicide by basically saying what boils down to “I quit, you are all worthless maggots and I’m getting out of here before the city crumbles down around us.” He dropped his staff (which was a sign of Princeship in our city) and left the room.
This was a huge shock and nobody in the room was prepared for this. The wannabe harpy in my coterie went quickly to pick up the staff and stammered to assert that the Invictus covenant was taking care of it and the Prince was just having an episode. I forget what happened specifically but basically after that, Mitch I guess figured that this was his moment to shine and took the staff from the wannabe harpy and tried to immediately pull rank on all of the other vampires and claimed that he was now prince. He didn’t give any good reason other than that everyone was supposed to like him based on his backstory. It’s not even like he collaborated before hand and somehow got everyone’s approval in-character, he just decided that “look, as you can tell by what I wrote about my character, you respect me and it wouldn’t make sense for you to not accept me being prince.”not to mention he was being a complete ass about it in-character.
This of course was all the ammunition the other covenants needed to knock the Invictus down a peg and they all decided to put the position to a vote. This made Mitch angry and he went off about how he was the prince and how ‘your character wouldn’t do that because they respect me. I AM THE PRINCE RESPECT ME.’ and blah blah blah which just made everyone more rebellious. So right off the bat he single-handedly made the Invictus the bad guys in and out of character by uniting all of the other covenants in their hate and mistrust for us. As a result, a Carthian Gangrel who was also a newbie but very likable got elected. Luckily, the ruthless bitch was really really good at politics (it helped that she was attractive in real life) and started whispering half-truths and warped perceptions into the Prince’s ear. Meanwhile I was doing some Machiavellian shit trying to turn the Lancea Sanctum and the Order of the Crone against each other and stacking the council and other leadership positions as much as I could with what few sympathizers I could find.
Our plans to recuperate were going swimmingly well until Mitch decides it’d be a great idea to infiltrate the Ordo Dracul by not only pretending to be a member of the Ordo Dracul (who are the most reclusive and secretive and best at sniffing out deception in my opinion of all other covenants), but also by literally trying to infiltrate one of their major headquarters which was only one city away from us. He spent like two games trying to find their HQ and then when he finally found it, all he did was be like “Yeah, I’m totally one of you guys let me in.” They let him in and promptly killed him for impersonating one of their own and learning about their secret whereabouts, but not before torturing out that he was “an Invictus spy from the city over” and how our city is basically in chaos. After realizing he was going to die he got all pissy and blamed the scheme on our coterie, trying to make us take the fall for his stupid idea. All of a sudden our city is getting swarmed with Ordo outsiders who are demanding from my coterie that we help get an Ordo Seneschal instated as a sign of “good-will” between our two cities. We fuckedly agree, and the Prince has absolutely NO problem with making more allies to keep the Invictus at bay.
Eventually I finally became prince through a whole lot of blood and sweat, but by then it was second-to-last game and I was so damned tired of politics and the city was already beyond screwed. I decided to commit career suicide by belittling all the other covenants as my first act as Prince and then promptly becoming the storytellers’ plot device to get killed in a ritual to awaken the inevitable ancient evil that fucked our city in the ass.

Yeah, the dad's a cunt for trying to use D&D as an alternative to babysitting. I got bad news for you though … I'm pretty sure you have the autism. I'm pretty sure you have it hard, like "affects your ability to function" hard, and I kind of can't help but wonder if you have terrible habits of hygiene, or demeanor, or communication that makes you actually uncomfortable to be around or talk to.
Still though, there's no excuse for that dude shitting up a game with his spawn.
Why are you playing in a store anyway? I've run organized play shit at a bunch of different stores.

I honestly don't know what it is. I shower daily and wear clean clothes. I try to be a generally cheerful and helpful person. As I said I provide help to the group through buying pawns and map also supplying snacks at times. I'm also very open I feel that I want people to tell me if there is a problem with me. Like when I got accused of sexism I talked to both of the females I played with and figured out if i was making them uncomfortable in any way and they both told me that I didn't. Only thing I can think of is I generally tend to gravitate toward directing the flow of things. Just how my mind works I figure out plans and ideas quickly and bring it up to people always making sure everyone is cool with my ideas. As both of the people who have issues with me seem to be DMs also seem to be far left too it can be they don't like that part of me like I'm trying to take control of the game away from them or other players. None of the players have expressed any issues with me and honestly want to play in my Dark Heresy campaign so I think it is something with DMs or them being far left crazies.
I play at the store because I can't host in my small studio and no other player has a place other people can easily get to. Wednesday and Friday are the only busy days the store has so me setting up my campaign on Tuesday will mean I won't really have to encounter any people really at the store. I right now though have to recruit players for my campaign as the people I want to have in my campaign unfortunately are not available to play at this time. I'm planning to put up a flyer at the store about and hopefully get some players that way. In time the players I actually want to play with will free up their time they just have to adjust their schedules which will take a month or so.

I do think you might have some kind of social retardation, and if that's true you probably wouldn't know it. How good are you on picking up social cues? If you were standing too close to someone, would you be able to tell by their expressions and posture that they were uncomfortable, and were just too nice to tell you? If you were talking incessantly about something that no one cared about, would you be able to read the expressions of boredom and "please shut up" on people's faces? If you were doing things that made people uncomfortable, like being creepy with your gold elf girl or whatever, would you be able to tell that you were weirding other people out, if they didn't specifically tell you that you were weirding them out? Do you argue a lot about relatively trivial things? Do you talk a lot more than the other people? Of course, I don't know you, so maybe none of this applies and maybe you don't have any kind of crippling social interaction issues.
See, roleplaying games are a social hobby, and although a lot of us tend to have some measure of social issues, there is a baseline level of social ability necessary to have a good time and get along with others in the hobby. If someone cannot meet the minimum requirements of social ability and communication, they will have a terrible time with the part of the hobby that actually involves interacting with other human beings.
But like I said, the whole store and all of the people there sound terrible, so I would just focus on gaming with the people that -do- get along with you. Maybe talk to them about forming a group outside the store?

It is fair enough. I felt I'm pretty good at social cues due to that I have worked face to face with customers in the grocery industry and reading people is really important there along with I try to read my coworkers because yeah I don't want to be on people's bad side. My elf was the opposite of being creepy she honestly was my attempt at letting others take charge because my character before was pretty much leading the group by the nose and I felt I should let someone else take charge for once. The problem happened when I told the girl sitting next to me that my character isn't really social and she pushed it and pushed it and then started name calling then just drove me nuts. It was wrong of me to mock her character like that and I felt really bad about it. I sort of flip between not hardly talking and talking a lot. I though notice when a conversation is one sided so I generally shut up when i notice this is happening with glazed eyes or the 'uh huh' of not paying attention. One specific example that was used by that guy was me talking over the DM. He claimed I did it because i was sexist but really I just got overexcited and too involved.
I seem to have no issues with my online group I play via skype with at least yet. People though comment that I sound sad a lot of the time.
Really it is only the two DMs that run D&D at the store that are the problem which I can avoid by running stuff on a different day which I plan to do.
Also thanks for this. I really want to see what it is that causes this problem I see show up in groups. Now I think about it, I might have a problem with just being really open about issues. I see problems and I confront them making work for everyone else. Like we had a really horrible kid before and I wanted to deal with him by talking to his parents about his behavior but they told me the DM was suppose to handle it but she kept putting it off and off until the worker at the store found out about him threatening another player with violence and threw him out. It might come off as me making problems as thin air but I feel I have a really good eye for seeing problems that will arise socially. I don't know or I can be totally full of shit.

I generally don't tell anyone to fuck off because I am not really that kind of person. I prefer more civilized way of telling them I don't enjoy their presence anymore and would frankly wish nothing to do with them anymore. Main problem is I believe most relationships can be saved which I do realize that some are beyond saving. Biggest problem is though that people are too afraid to come out about how they truly feel about someone so problems can be resolved. People end up playing around the table thinking there is no drama is going on in the group until someone just explodes and makes a mess of everything. This is why I try to push for if anyone doesn't enjoy what is going on they should come out as soon as possible so the problem can be taken care while it is a small problem and doesn't result in the game being destroyed. Especially in this day and age it seems it is really hard to find a decent group not infiltrated with people who need X cards at the table. Keeping working groups together should be the priority of everyone at the table because of saving the hassle of finding another group.

I have a brand new player in one of my groups. Normal girl who thought it would be cool. Never played any /tg/s ever. I gave her the PHB and told her to go to town. Don't give her any direction. Next week she shows up, I look over her character. Everything is fine, and actually kind of optimized (right scores in the right places, good choices, that sort of thing). She plays and grasps the game easily, gets into the RP, is a productive member of the group.
Meanwhile, so many geek and gamer people who fit the nolifer stereotypes have to have their hands held in games that they KNOW. Games that they've been playing for a while and still can't grasp. Or when being introduced to new editions of games that they know that have only minor changes, or -heaven fucking forbid- a new system, they have less ability to learn and grasp than your average 10-year-old.
This is a pattern I actually see pretty frequently. It's like in the character creation system of life, people dump their appearance, social ability, hygiene, and general functional competence as a human being to max out their gamer or geek stats, but then the more functional and normal-looking people always seem to out-gamer them anyway.
Why is that? I don't understand. If I see Captain Necksperg with the social intelligence of a potted plant, who has been suckling at the teat of /tg/ for all of his 40 manchild years, and then some good-looking average Joe guy, with a life and the ability to have friends and sexual relationships, who got into P&P a year and a half ago, why is Joe not only going to be a better and more creative RPer, but also have a better grasp of the mechanics of the system and how to play and make smart choices?

I don't think I ever did something like that. I went out of my way to make sure people or at least the majority was fine with any controversial actions I made that affected the party. Thing was I was forced into many situations sort of like that where someone screws up what we were suppose to be doing. I'll admit I'm a little stubborn about things and have hard time just conceding things although I did it with the guy murdering the cultists we were suppose to be watching. I judged the situation with the party and they were perfectly fine going murder hobo on the group of cultists who we were suppose to be watching and really haven't done anything to us besides not want to be with the rest of the caravan. With the house fire most of the party was not ok with the guy setting the fire although I was the only one vocal about it. Instead of like physically stopping him I just put out the fire which resulted in the pvp situation where since the majority was not cool with the fire they defended me.
I guess that was sort of passive aggressive of me but I don't know if someone derailing the plot because they just want to watch the world burn well in this case it was a house and it is in what I feel my character's ideal to sort of prevent I will. It is like a 2nd degree of subversion possibly where I'm derailing the derail to get it back to sort of where the plot was suppose to lead. I'm all for derails at times but I really don't like murder hobo actions. I will hold my hand if I feel I'm the minority but if I know I got the rest of the group behind me I will be the one to say or do something. Problem is the people I conflict with are noisy and hold grudges it seems. Also I have made characters with intentions of them being murderhobo but I really don't get as much fun out of it as I do when I play a character that has more depth to them and doesn't always go for the kill first ask questions second.

>Ransom, Felinid Dick Ass Thief Mercenary
The party "leader" as he likes to think of himself. Snow Leopard Cat Person from the far north who wants to be a cat person in a sand world. He got fleas at least twice now.
Basically the cat wasteland version of John Wick and Park Chang Yi from "The Good, The Bad & The Weird" and he thinks he's super in control. He has some useful knowledge with him being a rogue with engineering and a propensity for firearms but basically he's a little shit and runs from major combat or things that don't involve him. He's the designated "Dick-ass thief of the party" even when he isn't being it. So far he has the best overall gear with a flintlock and some basic rapier tech. He wants a revolver zweihander super duper bad. He is prone to micromanage his inventory like it was fucking WoW and drag down time for gear purchases. Wants to "Remove Droopy elf Kebab" one day.
>Rickets, Human Beastmaster
The Party Beastmaster who is incredibly violent and has a pet giant spider as it were that he has a perfect understanding of. He's the kind of guy to carry a bag of weapons into a fight, beat one guy with one weapon, drop it, draw another and kill another guy with the next and so-on & so-forth. He has a pegleg and right now has the plot "Old World High Ordinance Explosive device" that will finally move us out of the tutorial. He is tempted to do incredibly petty and insane things, like burn a house down with a man, woman and child inside it because he tried to force his way inside and the kid threw a frying pan at him (while an outbreak of basically flea-induced typhoid was going on). He has also tossed the dead body of a child to the side and done numerous other insane things like almost engage a 6'5" Irishman who paid Dio Brando to have her little brother disciplined in-game & also the party expert on selling Wonder Brooms. Also wants to remove Droopy Elf Kebab.
>Dio Brando, Female Huntress
Party Huntress and also swarthy mother figure to her younger siblings. Her frontier town was burned to the ground and blah blah blah found herself in this town. Since she showed up she's really tried being the best character to be honest and hasn't really had any That Guy moments, yet. Just wants a safe place to put her little brother and sister in as opposed to enduring the Horrors of the Wastes. She tolerates the Droopy Eared Elf Kebab.
>Mork, Human Barbarian & also escaped experiment
The Party Randomizer because every once in a while I make him do a "Bane Check" because he really wanted to be Bane with a self-insert character that has bad stats. So far he has done some crazy shit like get drunk and help Rickets try and burn that house down and also now has forced Ransom to give him a handjob or he would break him in half. Insert Baneposting here. He hasn't been in the game long but goddamn it he's going to be entertaining. He wants to Murder Elf like a champ. I might give him a giant boomerang.
>Barnacle, Returning Player
Has Grade A Autism frustration real bad and didn't know how to play so he left and wants to come back. He was a Dwarf and he was used as raw scientific materials by a local mage and accidentally created a John-Carpenter-style The Thing fight in his "garden shed". It was short, as his corpse was literally powered by dream and shadow magic that was boiled alive by sunlight but hey, it broke a few people's arms an legs. No "That Guy" moments yet other than basic Rules lawyering that Ransom helps me argue against.
Then there's me and I play this huckster, Italian-style former orphan from the old world human capital that may or not have killed one of the empires' constables to assume his identity and flee from his old life as a gravedigger.
Currently the party has found a mech suit and are about to travel to zone 2 as it were.

Here's where shit gets crazy. First of all, his character is pic related. You guessed correctly, it's an edgelord. He doesn't know how to play. Funny thing is, he has been in multiple 5e campaigns before and I suspect he just WON'T READ THE FUCKING HANDBOOK
He's the type that stacks temp health. The type that tries abusing pact of the blade (lol summon loaded crossbow, unsummon after firing, and summon loaded crossbow to not do a loading action) Worse offense yet, he kept saying how he could teleport the ENTIRE party with some spell as long as he was touching them and he could visually see the location.

I assume you've houseruled this, because it's normally supposed to be melee weapons only, and takes an action to summon anyway whereas 'loading' in 5E just means that you can't get more than one shot out of it per action/bonus action/reaction.

Ravah Gets Her Cake And Almost Eats It Too
So first thing's first, we had Cosette posting diaperfur art in the fucking chat just before the session started. We also had Ravah's player flat out admit her character is a form of wish fulfillment.
Then we had to finish up the "Icedevil" fight. Turns out Serenity just keeps missing and missing unless the DM hamfists advantage whenever he can to her rolls. Luckily Cosette at least has the intelligence to know my character needs healed and does so. Combat actually goes fairly well, of course our monk Calla proves to be once again one of our few competent players. I so much as get the killing blow from Sentinel and Ravah's pissed that she doesn't get it for herself by wasting a 1st level spell slot.
We then pretty much do a bunch of generic as fuck riddles and puzzles. The 8 Queens puzzle didn't even have 8x8 tiles for it to be solvable, the "what is different" puzzle required the entire fucking map to be switched on and off every 60 seconds only for me to be ignored when I actually did point out the difference, and I don't even know what the fuck was going on with the enclosing illusory walls we had to run into to get out of.
Then came the real fucking kicker: The third test of Morality. Of course, first character to take on the test is Ravah. Our characters are placed in front of a one-way window to see Ravah choose between the Holy Avenger and Blackrazor. Obviously she chose Blackrazor to be "true to her character". Then she saw the real consequences of having the blade: sacrificing Ragebrood.
Of course, at this point she says no. Is it because of any moral reason? Is it because she sees Ragebrood as someone she likes? Well either way it turns out Ravah's player was willing to take a minute heelturn to get yet another magic sword to her fucking horde. Yep, the goddamn DM decided that she could take the Holy Avenger if she decided to "be good".
I immediately called bullshit, half the party knew that stank of bribery. Of course, Ravah's player gets salty once it's retconned and says that "If anyone gets a legendary item and gloats about it I'll quit this campaign".
Also, the DM is still on my ass for "metagaming" when I was reminding him about the resistances he gave his monsters (which did not benefit me at all btw). And yet, when Ravah went out of her way to say that the Balor explodes, that was "excused" because "muh character". Also, asking nicely for a character not to do something is not "bossing them around" Mr.DM. Also, I'm pretty sure the DM has goaded people into bad decisions more than I have requested of my teammates. I wouldn't have to say anything if Serenity had been taught at least half the rules of the game.
At this point, I am just morbidly curious as to what my character's "moral test" is going to be.

Actually that reminds me of back when I was playing my fat drunk experiment bitch, despite that Ravah had a plus +13 to weapon damage thanks the DM's bullshit, she kept using spells that proc'd my mage Slayer feat and lost in a friendly spare because of it. She even tried to run away and got herself snatched out of the air. She got sooooo fucking salty.
I used one Enlarge potion for the sake of testing it out while she kept trying to charm me in a fucking 1 v 1 combat and get her AC back to 23…in 5e. 23 AC in 5e…at not even that high a level.
I am not going to be able to justify fighting her in the current situation. Even when my character is one of the only ones rightfully skeptical of the vampire who spells out her own motivations with the clarity of the finest drawn of maps, he does not think killing her is even worth his damn time and actually wants to do the right thing.
If the party wants to be blue pilled, he's not going to give up fighting the Aboleth just because of a leech who's proven to be pathetic anyway. My paladin just doesn't want Ravah's fucking terrible behavior and decisions to screw the rest of the party or anyone innocent.

I know this is days old but I still wanted to comment.
It's pretty simple in my eyes. Captain Necksperg hasn't been dumping all his points into /tg/, he's been dumping all of his points into mountain dew and escapism and has lost perspective on his own understanding of ideals like ethics, morality and humanity as it applies to the real world and real people. Whereas good looking average Joe who interacts with other normal people on both a superficial and emotional level on a daily basis and is exercising his creativity through his own passionate endeavors in real life has a much clearer context for the motivations and driving forces that would apply to his character, the world, and the characters around him. It's simply a matter of being in touch. It's the difference between escapism and catharsis.

If I broguht anything up I was yelled at by the Gm's Gf… the Gm barely did anything but just coast things along… no rulings despite what his GF was saying, just smoking weed and giggling every so often. There was also some grimdark, half-demon assassin, not doing death attack right so he was killing everything in one hit, no save, DM still giggling. When I said my character wouldn't let evil shit stand he thought I meant out of game so he threatened to track me down and arrest me from the East fucking coast (I'm West coast) due to being in the FBI or some shit. When that got settled he said that was metagaming… despite the fact he's one-shoting guards and even undead without even asking questions, even the one's tied up that we were planning to question.
When the DM did make a ruling it was some innae shit like "Oh yeah you can totally make ALL your attacks of opportunity off of one triggering option" or worse, "Oh yeah improved grapple is broken"

Do you die if the taco is fully consumed, or does the taco's "spirit" inhabit another taco or what?

That's because the thing has learned to camouflage itself to survive in a normal environment. What you're seeing in the game is how it actually thinks and behaves, what it is when it thinks it won't suffer consequences for it's actions.

I know this is a super late response, sorry I’ve been busy.
Alright let’s see.
I guess I’ll tell the story of why I left the group. It has more to do with the people surrounding the game and not really anything that happened in game. It’s also not very happy, so there’s my disclaimer.
So to add context, I’ll have to explain how the org was set up. The main storyteller (MST) was also basically org president and his word was law. Then there were the regular storytellers (ST)s who’s word was the MST’s word which was law. In the beginning there were two other storytellers: the MST’s girlfriend Carol and the MST’s best friend Richard. The MST we’ll call Keith.
So beneath the storytellers you had the Player Council, which was a collection of some of the more veteran role players. It included myself, a girl who we’ll call Laura and Richard’s gf Sophie. I think there were a couple more at a few points in time but these are the important people to remember. For reference, Sophie was the same “ruthless bitch” that had Trevor removed from the game.
Now the Player Council’s job was to bridge the gap between players and storytellers. We were still regular players but we helped the STs with downtime rolls and were the only other people allowed to look at other people’s character sheets because we were trusted not to meta game. We were also tasked with voicing member complaints and issues with the STs during meetings. It was a really solid setup and we were all fast and close friends early on and the storytellers really put their heart and soul into making the game fun as hell. In fact it was so fun that everyone pushed to have a bi-weekly game instead of monthly.
Our first ever LARP was as a fledgling anarch city sharing a border with two major cities, one Camarilla and the other Sabbat there were also werewolves in the surrounding forested area. The Camarilla basically installed us so that we would act as a buffer between them and the Sabbat. They never expected us to thrive or even survive in the city, but sure enough we somehow persevered. The Camarilla made it absolutely clear who was in charge but we being, for the most part, a bunch of uppity neonates in charge of an entire city made us somewhat bold. Never bold enough to piss off the elders well, mostly, but definitely bold enough to be a thorn in their sides.
The game was great, and I have a bunch of stories of awesome shit that happened in game if anyone wants to hear them, but we’re focusing on the drama so I’m going to gloss over most of the game and skip ahead to the drama parts.
So the last few games are rearing their ugly heads and everyone is preparing for Gehenna. Me, Sophie and Carol’s characters make up one of the most influential gangs in the city; the Archangels. We all became really close out of character as well as in character, with my and Sophie’s characters being ‘the main characters’ of the plot at this point don’t ask me how it happened, we were just great role players and the coolest stuff ended up revolving around our characters.
At this point in time I viewed the STs and Council like a family, with Sophie being like a sister to me. We had even half-jokingly half-seriously discussed getting tattoos of the Archangel gang sign on several occasions. Unfortunately, all good things come to an end and this is where it starts to get weird.
Throughout the first year, me and the Laura girl were off-and-on flirty. Nothing ever came of it, but my ex had basically followed me into the group and ingratiated herself so she could stay close to me, somehow convincing everyone that I had nothing to do with her decision… I think this is the catalyst for all the drama and it’s partly my fault, but it gets so weird that I can’t even be sure that this had anything to do with the end result.
My ex who we’ll call Cathy didn’t play in the first year of LARP because of school, but she did tabletop and other stuff with us and started LARPing the following year. I do partially blame myself for all the drama that ensued because she was my first ever real life girlfriend and I really just allowed her to slide into the group because sex and insecurities.
We were on and off again all the time and it ended up looking like I was toying with my ex’s emotions even though it was not my intention to hurt her. The problem was that she was madly in love with me and I didn’t love her back but didn’t have the spine to resist her high school insecurities were still strong with me and I felt unlovable. She was careful to never overtly make it apparent to the group that she was trying to get me back, but she always made sure to be there wherever I was and to be near me at just the right moment.

So over the summer, I break it off with her and it goes really badly. She was a huge crier and she gave off a “sweet innocent puppy” vibe and would use that to manipulate people into handling her problems for her. she is a nice person for the most part however, and now years later we are cool with one another, though we rarely talk
BUT, at the time, she decided to go and cry to Sophie, who is incredibly charismatic and quite pretty, but is very manipulative and hot headed. When Sophie hears the sob story, I immediately and irreversibly become a villain in her eyes. So begins the weirdness that I mentioned earlier.
She begins a smear campaign to ruin my reputation with the group with Cathy’s stamp of approval. She manipulated one of my good friends at the time into believing that I was this evil person who womanized and manipulated and was threatening the stability of the group ironic, since she was manipulative, emasculated and humiliated her boyfriend around his friends constantly and was attempting to purify the group by fire. My good friend, the guy who looked like Saul Goodman and helped Sophie remove Trevor from the group had a hard-on for subterfuge and was eager to play spy for Sophie. He started to message me on Facebook talking about how Sophie was saying all this stuff about me because of my ex, playing like he was still my buddy. Hearing this, I immediately message Sophie and say something along the lines of “Hey, I’m hearing all this shit, if you’ve got a problem I really wish you’d come talk to me about it.”
Her response is a gallon of gasoline, a bridge and a match. She starts going off about how she would have come and talked to me about it if she could stomach the sight of me and that I was basically the biggest piece of shit she had ever known. This catches me so off-guard that I try and reason with her, but she just ignores everything I had to say. One of my most cherished relationships falls to pieces in a matter of minutes.
That whole ordeal sent me reeling, and I start trying to talk to Saul about what the hell is going on. He told me that people in the group didn’t like me and hinted that I should try and leave. I’ve already caught on at this point and say “Are you trying to Trevor me?” he’s silent for a long while and then tries to rationalize the idea away and I put it into the back of my mind. I couldn’t deal with the reality, but in my heart I knew what was going on. Still, Saul becomes someone I can talk to about this ordeal, and talking to him helps alleviate the pain and stress. I later found out that he had been relaying everything I ever said to him straight to Sophie in an attempt to give her some ammunition. We are not friends any more. I still think he was a good guy that just got caught up in the drama though and I miss him.
A few days go by like this and the stress really starts to get at me. All my insecurities were pushed to the forefront and I began to feel that deep sinking, stinging feeling of “no one likes you” bubbling up. I start to feel a sense of dread, thinking that none of my friends actually liked me. In my extreme state of duresse, I decide it would be a good idea to let everyone in our immediate group know about the bullshit that was going on and Saul advises me that it’s a good idea but that I should include Cathy and Sophie. I decide to exclude Sophie and Cathy because I suspect some sort of trap. I wanted to let my friends know because I thought that Sophie must have already been telling them about how evil I was and that maybe they could put the reigns on Sophie and we could end this or come to some kind of understanding.
Instead I’m met with a “This seems really manipulative, Anon.” “Why didn’t you include Sophy and Cathy?” “Seems shady” etc… I explain that it’s because Sophie and Cathy are plenty aware of what’s going on and I want transparency and for this to be out in the open before it explodes and has a negative impact on the group. The MST is the only person who has my back in the whole convo and appreciates me coming out with this.
Throughout the summer in the group chat Sophie keeps bragging saying disjointed shit about how she’s “Like Cersei from Game of Thrones except not an idiot”. Looking back, she was exactly like Cersei. Manipulative, hateful, great at making herself look like she’s not the bad guy and also too dumb to realize how transparent her manipulations were to the people she was trying to manipulate. Yep, in her eyes she was Cersei and I was her Ned Stark.

So, fast forward to the beginning of next semester, the semester of the NWoD vampire game where Mitch loses his shit over trying to be Prince and dying stupidly to Ordo Dracul. I’m now roommates with the MST and his GF. Things go great with all of us for a little while. The situation with Sophie has died down somewhat, but I’ve noticed a tangible shift in some players’ attitudes towards me.
Two or three games in to the new setting and Sophie decides she doesn’t like her character any more conveniently after Mitch fucks over the entirety of the Invictus. She had been talking about how she wanted to be an ST, and the other STs really wanted another person to help disperse the load, so she went to go be ST. Almost IMMEDIATELY the atmosphere of the game goes from friendly, collaborative and fun to “STs vs. The Dumb Players”.
Never. NEVER did any of the original STs have anything bad to say about the player base before she became one. At least, if they did, they never discussed it outside of themselves. Sophie however would just go on and on about how stupid the players were because they couldn’t figure out X or do Y. She would say all this shit in front of other players. The worst part was that her toxic attitude infected the other STs. The game was still fun, but now instead of all of us hanging out after game and talking about how great it was, it became ‘all the players hang out or disperse or whatever while the STs go sit in a corner together and whisper and laugh about how stupid and bad the players were today.’
I was watching my friendships unravel before my eyes and I wanted to do something about it, but I couldn’t think of what I could do. I wasn’t a great orator like she was and I didn’t want to fight her on her own terms and I just couldn’t bring myself to stoop down to her level, so I just tried to ignore it and hope it would all go back to normal. It proved to be more mentally taxing than I was prepared to deal with. Things got worse and worse and then one day Sophie had found a new target. It was the Laura girl. Laura and Sophie had been great friends since before the org was even established, but I guess that Sophie was tired of her, because all she did when we were hanging out in a group without Laura was talk about what a terrible person Laura was.
Eventually by half-way through next semester The Hunter Game Laura and Sophie had a huge falling out over chat and Sophie basically was like “good riddance” when Laura finally decided to leave the group chat. At this point, me and Laura were not flirty any more and she had already been convinced that I was a womanizing manipulator, but that didn’t stop me from what I did. I basically blew up in the chat about how Laura isn’t a bad person, and that Sophie is just manipulative and gets off on controlling the group and shit talking. Of course nobody believes me. Except my ex. She defends me and chastises everyone in the group who was shit talking Laura. This actually made the MST’s gf Sophie’s main confidant break down and cry. It’s a huge chaotic ordeal but I think that maybe this is when things will turn on Sophie and the group can purge the infectious disease that is her presence.
I leave the chat and me and my ex go over to Laura’s house where we start talking about all this bullshit. I tell her about all the shit that Sophie’s said behind her back and how she did the same thing to me and that the reason I stuck up for her was because I couldn’t bear seeing this happen again. Laura is taken aback, and at this point Cathy tells me that Sophie didn’t start hating me because of her, but that she had always hated me. Cathy has no idea why. I believe her. Cathy is a lot of things but she is not a liar. This knowledge stings deep though. While this is swimming around in my head, Cathy goes to read what has happened in the group chat since me and Laura left. Sophie has somehow spun all of this to make herself look like the victim. The deep hurt and outrage of this entire situation is just too much to handle. I start going off to my ex and Laura about how I hated Sophie and wished she was dead. I calm down pretty fast, but I said some pretty ugly things.

A few days pass and I’ve declared that I’m quitting the game. Tensions with my roommates begins to soar. Over the following weeks they regularly hang out with Sophie and she’s turned them completely against me. They constantly host games and shit at our apartment to which I’m not invited, sometimes playing until the sun comes up. I’ve bought ear plugs but they don’t help because they’re so loud and the walls are paper thin. I try to explain this to them and it becomes an inside joke for them that “the walls are paper thin”. I start kicking them out by 2 am. This brings roommate tension to a boiling point. They literally start a yelling match with me while Sophie and her boyfriend are over accusing me of ‘only kicking out certain people’. They only ever have one group of people over. MST’s GF tries to say that because I stayed up until 3 am one night talking to my brother who I almost never get to see or talk to one night that I’m a hypocrite. See Laura in passing on campus one day and I wave and she just sort of hurriedly walks away it turns out she just decided to go crawling back to the group and completely turned to talking shit about me again. My ex and I started our on again off again thing again.
After weeks and weeks, I realize that there’s nothing I can do to salvage my friendships, and that anyone who was really my friend would have at least have contacted me by now asking my side of what’s going on. I know that its over. I tell my roommates I want to move out. They don’t even care about rent, they just vehemently want me gone. It hurts. These people used to be my best friends and now no one in the group makes any effort to contact me or talk to me.
It’s been about 2 years since then. Writing all of this has made me kind of sentimental. I’ve made new friends and I’ve got a great girlfriend now but I still miss those bastards. I miss all of those people. I miss that first year where we were all good friends. I wish it could have turned out differently. Honestly most of all I miss Sophie. I know that after everything that happened I must be crazy to say that, but she really was like a sister in my eyes, and I think that in reality her hatred towards me never had anything to do with me as a person. We had such similar ways of thinking and the same stupid sense of humor about everything. We were a lot alike, in fact, and in retrospect I figure that all of that rage and hatred that she projected on to me must have come from a place deep inside herself. She saw herself in me and she hated it. Wherever you are ‘Sophie’ I want you to know that I forgive you and that I sincerely hope you are happy.
Anyway, that's the story. Hopefully it was entertaining for you guys.

Thanks bro. I like tales and I like feels and you delivered. I don't know about the specifics of the situation but as someone who has also been involved in situations where shit just got fucking weird and toxic for what felt like no reason, I know that people can turn on each other on a fucking dime. People will undermine each other based out of nothing but their own insecurities, no trigger event, nothing, just that wish to die that comes out of nowhere, kick over your sand castle, throw your gameboy out the car window etc. At least that's how I figure it, that it's just our nature.

The salamander, being a cunt, sat his ass on fire and had to be aided by the priest's powers to create water.
>The salamander made a contract to live inside the cleric until they reached the end of the cave and purified the shrine.
>At the end of the cave, there was a lot of cultists and the arch demon waiting.
>The elf, the wolf girl and the cleric tried to plan something in advance, however Ser Lizard didn't took kindly them taking so long so he charged at them and got his ass rekt by the demon. This gave the rest, however, enough time to get to cleric safely to the shrine who then got posessed by the salamander desummoning the demon.
>The salamander then rewarded them with rule over fire, explosion elf got a permanent buff of +2 to his spell save DC, wolf girl to the ability to use magical fire arrows in exchange for 1 HP and an action, cleric could now conjure the fire ball cantrip and the lizard didn't got shit because he's a retard.
In conclussion:
>Nobody got incapacitated once but Ser Lizard who got: Incapacitated by a pack or rampaging thieves, almost eaten by a mimic twice, knocked unconscious by a swinging log, burnt by acid, burnt by salamanders, almost raped in hell for all eternity and butthurt because he didn't got shit.

By all means post them. It's not like you need our permission.
That is some very strange autism right there, though. I doubt you ever figured out what the fuck he was going on about, did you?
