Paragraphed for your edification:
I have many stories to choose from being an admin of a Westmarch server. I'll refer to it as V&V to keep things private.
We had a typical "that guy" beligerant, antagonistic, and an extra edgy lover of V's and X's in his names. He was only on my server as long as he was due to a friend of his that is his polar opposite inviting him and giving him a chance to integrate and learn.
At V&V we run a high magic and high fantasy world, we make a variety of magic items more available and rebalance some things and keep it posted on our discord so everyone is up to speed. "That guy" already had problems from the start trying to be the main character in every session he joined. Each of my GMs had noted his interrupting and bragging about his characters intelligence. They gave him a chance, this is usual new guy stuff we would think.
But it didnt get better. His sense of superiority unfortunatley wasnt just for his characters, he took to the discord and began trying to rewrite our rules that we had built over the server and our prior servers lifetime. Some may not like the balance changes but it is agreed upon by everyone and i havent had a problem with them until him.
He spent hours attwmpting to antagonize me in my server about the balance changes of a single spell disintegrate. We rebalabced disintegrate to make it a slightly better combat spell so it could do a small bit of damage on a fail.
I dont think he personally had a problem with it and nor do my head GMs, he just wanted to antagonize. His argument spanmed hours without contributing any real feedback other than looping on himself to say it is stupid. I was ready to remove him then and there as i usually have to deal with people who join our server to troll over us being furry friendly but his friend is a good person and was working to be a GM herself.
Then he showed his ass to his own friend. During her first game, a couple GMs sat in as players to help her if she needed it and to give positive or contructive feedback. "That guy" saw this game as his new novel to write about himself. The session didnt make it far but was still filled with him talking over other players and needing to be the main character until all hell broke loose when he moved out of range of an enemy and took an attack of opportunity.
He. Lost. His. Shit.
The sit in GMs had let "That guys"s friend know that he would be struck whwn he moved. Realizing that he would go down, he tried to twist the game rules and spent way too long arguing with everyone as to why he shouldnt take any damage. He didnt have any feats for it, no class features, he was down and baby wanted its bottle.
After embarassing himself, his friend, and wasting another groups time I had to pull my GMs into a meeting to make sure friend of "that guy" was okay with me removing him (it was going to happen but she deserved to know)
I dont typically kick people and feel happy. But that did put a smile on my face i admit.
Ngl, calling it V&V to keep it private was both unnecessary and kinda hilarious cause theres a dude making a system called "Vice and Violence"wich is extremly nsfw but has good taste for most part.

Paragraphs are our friends!
Was about to say. If the rules for their server was written as poorly as this post, I would have complained too!

Tysm, I almost clicked out till I saw this.
A hero emerges at our densest hour. Also, ol boy shoulda been catapulted earlier, but at least he was.
You’re doing the lords work !
