At first, his IG antics were funny, albeit worrying, then now I'm just gonna tell him he's been an asshole, he's really disappointed me and since I know how he's gonna react I'll tell him to get the fuck down his god damn cloud because no you don't have any justification for being such a dick and play stupid each time. Now that's more of a personal story you don't care about but if if still finds it funny at that time I'm going to start going towards the "we're not friends anymore" door.
That's for the flavour in this thread, also to get things out of my chest, because really, I feel sad. I had other problems and I did not plan (do we ever) to get disappointed in such a way, by this person too. It's like, I've been very patient on a lot of things with him and that's what it nets me. But to give it an actual substance I ask:
What is your fun
Do you grief like in minecraft servers by fucking games up?
Do you just go from objective to objective to the point of sleeping in front of the employer's house in plate armour like he did?
Do you roleplay extensively?
What is the reason you play? He used to say different people have different motivations for playing and while he's a shithead and uses this as an excuse probably psychological articles tend to say the same.
I like
-Roleplay
-Tangling and untangling complex situations with my brain
-Interacting with NPCs, PCs, developing mine and seeing the others evolve too and see where the drama leads
-Creating a story, whatever side of the GM screen I'm on
-Feeling all clever and stuff because I deal with problems intelligently like the actual badass that would be an actual adventurer (rolling is gay, think about that guy's possible motivations, and you'll find out there's something wrong. He's got nothing to gain from it! He's not telling you everything…)
