I just saw a post here where the OP was asking, essentially, “How do I deal with this potential problem player?”
Almost all of the answers: “Why don’t you talk to them?”
This is not at all was I was expecting, and that makes me incredibly happy.

They should have told the problem player it’s about role-playing, not roll-playing.

They should have told the OP that if you just play by the RAW of any well designed game there cannot possibly be problems at the table.

All I’m saying is you don’t see these kinds of problems in board games or video games. I think we could learn a lot from them about playing games with well designed systems.

Remember, once you let those players at your table, you have to be friends with them forever and ever and never not invite them because if you do you’re being one of those asshole jocks who wouldn’t take you to prom.

They should have told them they should just talk to the player. Because that always solves everything every time.

Talking is bullshit. No.
The only way to solve your problems is to snark about them online. 50% of the time, it works every time.

A combination of snarking about them online and getting game analysis / relationship counseling from people who didn’t see the game and don’t know them.
Always works.

I like Mark. I think he’s great. But, he’s a piece of shit wanker for saying such mean things to Brand and I won’t work with him. Neither should you. I mean, you should but if you’re mean to Brand then I won’t work with you.
