That guy thread

What if I don't drink anything?

no, sometimes (like the op example) a clever excuse is better.

>Immigrant blaming
Literally nothing wrong with that.

You have to use two

Not when you shift the blame for your own shitty life choices and create a narrative of perpetual victimhood.

Because the op example was a sociopath?

FFS, why do people feel entitled to others energies and attentions? Some of us play once a month or have to wait even longer before we get to game, if someone acts like an annoying twit that makes that special once in a blue moon night of D&D or whatever really unenjoyable, they shouldn't be so shocked and hurt when they get kicked out of the group.

Here's the difference, if it is a matter of playstyle difference, you talk to your problem player or BETTER YET, talk to every player before the game starts and discuss everybody's expectations. If the player is terrible for OTHER reasons, then I'd say boot 'em out.

Forget not giving them the talk, if they start showing you and your friends animal torture porn out of nowhere it's socially acceptable to have the cops remove them

>Says creepy shit about "making her character into a furry lover"
>And then jump on the computer to show everyone animal torture porn
I would be fucking disgusted/horrified if I was that girl.
Theres no excuse this dude can give, I think not even the talk could solve in this case, he would just try to fight the gm or stalk other players.

>kick that guy put of my group after consulting with my players and recruiting a replacement
>later realise they stole one of my miniatures
It was only from reaper bones but that's still rude

>>And then jump on the computer to show everyone animal torture porn
It wasn't fucking fluffies, was it?

What the hell is that?

>Wonders why we can't be friends anymore?
Why the he'll wouldn't they?
You've already tolerated ten times the behavior I would have.
If you treat swine like bedfellows, you can't be surprised when they squeal to get up on the bed, user.

Why are you still interacting with them at all?

Because I have a misguided prerogative to befriend loners & weirdos.

Yes, what the fuck is up with that?

Is that like jissouseki or some other creepy gurochan nonsense?

TL;DR - people piss off MLP fans with terribly drawn ponies getting abused, then start forgetting the irony

Some of those pictures would lead one to believe that some of the artists might get off from strangling a cat with piano wire.

>White guy blames immigrants for him being unemployed, flunking out of school, unable to get a job

"Dann right!"

>Literally anyone else blames anyone else for anything regardless of the situation

"OMG learn personal responsibility!"

That's not what they get blamed for though. That's a straw man put up by liberals. Bad things that do get attributed to immigration are large scale things like a flooded labor market and increased crime rates.

Genuinely curious, I want to see citations.

Playing with a new group and one guy, who has been there longer than me, is obviously that guy.

>Makes character with the premise of being unable to fully control powers, only takes AoE damage and rebuffs.
>Doesn't take any available options to limit friendly fire. Blames martial (me) for not playing my character exactly as he tells me to in order to avoid damage.
>Hits me all the time anyways.

>always has anime pictures on phone to represent what his character looks like, is doing, etc...
>always has awful metal songs to accompany his epic moments
>always asks for rides to and from game place
>talks way too much about anime, no one else in group knows what he is talking about
>always powergaming
>ALWAYS POWERGAMING

Everyone else is normal and fun to play with and being the new guy I don't want to make waves, but holy fuck is this annoying.

He talks exclusively like this.

>that guy who buys the module you're going to run
>that guy who memorizes it from head to toe
>that guy who then says "youre wrong" when you've changed a few encounters, positions of the rooms or traps from the module to other places or for the sake of balancing it to the current party
>that guy who drops his spaghetti when he gets called out for metagaming
>that guy who gets defensive and calls you a shit DM because you cheated at the module by making things different
>that guy who starts harassing the other players when they tell him to just calm his tits and play the game
>that guy who gets told to leave the table when he wont stop yelling and trying to incriminate everyone in some sort of conspiracy to humiliate him
>that guy who keys your car when you're asleep
>that guy who forgot I have cameras inside and outside the house
>that guy who got a surprise visit in the morning from an officer
>that guy who had to give up his lifestyle of being lazy and living with his girlfriend and instead had to get a job so he could pay for the damages
>that guy who got fired from tacobell because he was incompetent
Still waiting on him to follow up with his threat on facebook to kick my ass if he ever saw me again. I was at the checkout line at Piggly Wiggly when he walked in, saw me, did a 180 and fuckin left. Bitch.

I'm running a 5e game and one of my players is a 3tard who just can't fucking stop theorycrafting. It's a game where I've emphasized social interaction and exploration as being just as important as combat, but he doesn't give a shit and just wants to do with 5e exactly what he did with 3.pf: try to break the game over his knee. He doesn't give a single hot fuck about who his character is, how his character fits into the world, or why and how his character learned his skills and abilities. His character is numbers on a page and he has put zero effort into anything unrelated to combat, and he chose the hermit background because he thought the Discovery feature would give him a mechanical edge, and he said the other background features suck and aren't worth taking.

It's been non-stop complaints from him about how 5e has no options, it doesn't have enough variety, there aren't enough splatbooks, there aren't enough spells, the feats suck and you don't get enough of them, you don't get bonus spells for having a high casting stat, and so on and so forth into infinity. And boy oh boy does he ever hate bounded accuracy.

I didn't think people like him existed, I thought they were just strawmen people made up as fuel for edition wars, but nope. They exist, and there's one in my game right now, and I kind of want to kill him and eat his heart to gain his power.

They always talk like this too

>Giant run on sentences.

I wouldn't handle it in game. I would just talk to him out of the session privately and just offer him a way out of your game if he likes 3.x so much more (It helps to tell him that you aren't his fucking jukebox and you're running a 5e game because YOU like it).

Also, it is a bit more prep heavy, but you should look into running your 5e game in a more old-school fashion. Even though it has tools like CR to make it into a strategic miniature fighting game, 5E runs best when your players are active, not reactive and actively searching for solutions outside of combat, because it will not solve everything. Just discuss your expectations beforehand and make sure your players are on board.

You told this one recently, didn't you? He's just being an Internet Tough Guy. Egg him on and see if he'll do more stupid illegal shit.

Whew, what a guy

You know what made me really happy the other day in my 5e game? One of my players took the dueling fighting style for his fighter but roleplayed it as him finally mastering a fighting style of a particular culture taught to him by a contact/patron in the large port capital city the party currently operates out of.

I'm just going to pull a Shadowrun next time and make a stupid house rule about being able to have a number of contacts equal to your CHA modifier, with scaling costs for more important contacts..

Yes, when you talk with someone that knows what is he talking about. "X" blaming is generally used to talk about shifting blame for unrelated things.
When you are talking to Whaleman the GUO, and he says he can't find a job because there are too many Venezuelans in the country it's clear he doesn't know or care about actual immigration problems.

>playing with someone you even suspected of being a furry
You basically brought this on yourself

So yes, its exactly the same thing.

> that guy that uploads PNG photographs

Thanks, this thing is good reading and good advice.

My current 5e game is heavily modeled after early 90s JRPGs so I think I'm going to start making some changes to how I run it to make it feel a little more old-school.

There's an old dude who's the dad of the chick who DMs SKT the table across from ours.
Can't tell you how many times he interrupts his daughters game to go on and on about "well back in my day in AD&D your character had to go out and make her weapons and armor them selves. It was uphill both ways and blah blah blah. "
Who are these people that just love to suck the fun out of the things I love?

>too lazy to actually come up with a character so he just types in something generic on google and copies it when everyone else actually puts in effort to make PCs
or alternatively
>makes the same kind of character literally every time, just himself but as gnome or whatever
This is especially true with how bat shit crazy it's been getting, especially in Europe.

>These statistics confirmed that immigrants were significantly overrepresented amongst offenders, in particular in committing violent crimes. The foreign born were four times more likely to be suspects in homicide cases than those with Swedish origin, and 4.5 times more likely to be suspects in rape cases.
Too lazy to look for the labor market data, but it's true as well. This shit is /pol/ 101.

Jesus fucking Christ.

I'm the kind of guy to come up with a minimalist background and flesh out the character through play. On a scale of one to ten, how okay is this?

>doesn't give a single hot fuck about who his character is, how his character fits into the world, or why and how his character learned his skills and abilities. His character is numbers on a page and he has put zero effort into anything unrelated to combat, and he chose the hermit background because he thought the Discovery feature would give him a mechanical edge, and he said the other background features suck and aren't worth taking.
Have a guy like that in my AoR game, He pulled a fast one on me and managed to get all the tricked-out gear he needed to twink-out his character. Proceeds to, in the very next encounter march out in front of a company of 57 B1 battle droids planning to take them on all on his own, and proceeds to get turned into Swiss Cheese. I gotta tell you Munchkins get SUPER SALTY when things don't go their way. Hell I didn't even do any weird shenanigans, they were basic B1s with generic blaster rifles. Just a lot of them, and he knew that going in.

>Makes awkward passes at every player at the table that isn't a man

So, makes awkward passes at the female players, then. You could have just said that.

could also be making passes at guys that just look effeminate.

> This shit is /pol/ 101.

In the sense that its largely made up shit that ignores economics and history, yes.

>can't greentext correctly
>doesn't contribute to thread

That Guy detected

>largely made up
LOL

In reality he just keyed your car and you can't prove it, right?
Because why the he'll would the police wake him up for keying some guy's car.

>that guy who got a surprise visit in the morning from an officer
Not that guy, but they'll come THE NEXT MORNING when he's awake. Not waking him up in the dead of night at 3 am to throw a bag over his head and drag him down to the station.

Yeah, pretty hilarious people believe that /pol/ shit.

>Accusing someone who greentexted right of doing it wrong
>Starting an off-topic discussion then accusing someone of being off topic when they disagree with your shit
>being from /pol/

It's the best way, really. If you go into a game expecting your character to be exactly what you want, there's a lot of things that can go wrong, and that's before you even factor in your own ego or expectations of the character.

Cool, thanks. I often hear people talk about having a page or more of backstory and wonder how the fuck they can do that. I sometimes create characters even if I'm not in a game, and always paint their backstories in broad strokes in case I want to use the later.

>been this much of a cuck

...

I pity anyone who has to play with spergs and neckbeards

I converted my normie friends into dnd and now I can play whenev with normal people who don't powergame, magical realm etc.

Though sometimes itd be nice to play with people with more system knowledge/ nerdier tastes, gets old having to explain basic shit 10 sessions in

It's okay to play with nerdier friends, but they need an identity beyond their hobbies.

I always balk at people who have over a page of backstory, or backstory that establishes their characters as way too important or powerful. Children of guild masters who control half the world, princesses in waiting, that sort of thing always sets off some warning alarms for me.

I usually have nearly a page in backstory, but that's because I load it with hooks for the GM to use.
To me, a backstory's purpose is to let the GM know what the character's origins are and why they are traveling to work it into the campaign.
If your backstory has nothing the GM can use to involve you further into the game, you may as well not bothered turning one in.
My last pc was a mountain guide whose village was attacked, most of it's people ritually sacrificed to power some kinda thing, and survived when an outside force routed the invaders. Ended up a refugee, and joining the outsider's military to pay for his remaining family's new life.

Think of it as having the disgusting prints of facebook and twitter all over it.

Next time you see someone ignoring data about climate change because of his own skewed beliefs, before you say anything, remember back to the time you ignored crime data about immigrants because of your own skewed beliefs.

>data presented in a vacuum and distorted to serve an agenda is the same as data gleaned from several hundred independent international sources
Sorry, user, you aren't winning this one.

I'm trying something new in regards to my backstory with my current character. I have the general strokes made up and solidified in my head for a nice, simple backstory, but it's not written down anywhere. Instead, after every session I write a journal entry from my characters perspective about a page and a half long each detailing what occurred the last time we played. In addition to being nice reminders of whats happening for other players, as we don't play very frequently, it allows me to sprinkle indirect characterization into the writings. Stuff like what he's worried about and why, brief mentions of his older brother, his son, or home. Self-doubts and shortcomings, etc.. So far it's been a nice way to satisfy my 'tism for endless writing, flesh out my character, and help my party stay on track so we don't have to waste time every session talking about what we did last time.

Thoughts on this method?

My dm says he loves the work, and that feels nice too.

>dozens of reports from different nations all showing similar trends
>data and physical evidence to back up claims
>video documentation of immigrant violence
>"i-it's distorted to fit an agenda!"

Just because it doesn't line up with your world view doesn't make it untrue.

Sounds real nice lad, keep it up

How can you have a giant run-on sentence, but still have to end with a sentence of clarification?

You are a good player and deserve good things.

>(SPACE) text
>not reddit tier
Whatever you say, friendo.
>implying I started the off topic discussion
I keep my shit on /pol/, I don't start threads over it and I certainly don't reply to shit like that unless people are wrong or genuinely curious. You literally don't add to the thread at all or address any points, fuck off.
Everything about this guy screams fedora lord. I've always wondered how the fuck these people can exist. Do they even have a concept of self awareness or are they just that fucking detached?

I fail to see whats wrong with how he talks.

as for the giant run on sentence, doesn't bother me, but I get off on torturing the English language. If it does bother you, do yourself a favor and never read "Repent Harlequin said the tick tock man". An entire scene is done as one sentence.

It's more the non-sequiturs than the run-on sentences.
Also he won't stop mentioning the goblin thing?
Not sure what that's about.

Forgot my image.

If you fail to see what is wrong with it, you probably have a touch of the 'tism as well.

That's not how people interact, especially not after just meeting one another.

...

>and 4.5 times more likely to be suspects in rape cases.
Pretty much consistently whites get convicted of rape more often than other races. Crime of other kinds are generally more commonly commited by individuals of other races, but rape is the exception.

>Pretty much consistently whites get convicted of rape more often than other races
Keep in mind that that is Swedish data.
Not only that, but whites commiting more crime how it's supposed to be, considering that whites make up the majority of these countries. It's sad that even though there are less of these minorities in the country they, as you said, commit more crime than whites. Really activates those almonds.

>Personafags

not even once

It can work - I mean, just look at Waiting for Godot - but it feels rather weird to read. It's like the lines just kind of blur together, and you don't want to deal with such a large block of text. It's the literary equivalent of talking non-stop at a speed at which it's too much to take in properly.

(social links internally)

Harlan Ellison often writes in an intentionally off-putting way, though. Conversational speech and creative writing aim to accomplish different things, and are therefore held to different standards.

Persona and SMT are both fun series and there's nothing inherently wrong with liking either.
the amount Persona 4 spinoffs is still absurd and unnecessary though

LOL
Joke's on you, man.

> In reality he just keyed your car and you can't prove it, right?
He said he had cameras watching his car and explicitly caught who keyed his car.
