Your opinions of this idiot:

Based on what you've read.. from 1-5, what would you rate him on the Annoying Player Scale (1 = least annoying)?

Would you believe him if he told you, "It wasn't me!"

Should he be banned from our location?

Comments or Suggestions offered:

  • "Neuter him..." - Rob "Spook" Novak
  • "Sounds like a lonely guy to me. I'd 'befriend' him in an effort to see why he is doing this. Maybe give him 'pointers' to help raise his (5000 to 6000) level of knowledge. At the very least, the scores won't look so bad when he inpersonates others." - SAKIC (TGI FRIDAYS Norwell, MA)
  • "I would get everyone to speak to the managers. I think they would be more concerned about losing your business instead of him. The only other thing I can think of is to snub him as much as possible. We did that with an annoying jerk at our bar. Of course I also told him how much he was dispised there. I think that helped." - Kam
  • "Although NTN is only a game, people like this have no business being a part of it. This guy is VERY lucky that he has not headed out West and played here. He would very quickly be beaten to within an inch of his life. The P in PIN, stands for PERSONAL...if this guy wishes to invade people's privacy in this way, he ought to pay the price, and simply kicking him out of the place is not enough. He needs to be shown just how much his antics annoy people. I could go on forever about this, but I will quit now, before I get mad thinking about it." - ELFMAN
  • "Duct tape is a good start. What he needs is a full beating. Maybe we should lock him up in a room with laturd & peons and see who comes out alive. BTW, the idiot was at LA Cage St. Laurent last night. KEN ignored him as the idiot chowed down on beer and chicken wings. He must have mugged an old lady yesterday to get the money for the food. No hijinks while KEN was there but who knows what happened when KEN left. The weasely one was talking to some of the more stupid regulars there. They will learn about him in a matter of days." - LASHER
  • "Perhaps you should suggest to the people who run the establishment where you play that this guy is causing problems, and they could refuse to let him have a playbox." - Pam
  • "the duct tape idea sounds great... but before using it... (following are two of the wild ideas UC Berkeley Marching Band members had in the late 60's and early 70's about what they'd do if they ever caught a Stanford bandsperson snooping around [btw, UC Berkeley (a/k/a "Cal" and Stanford are the San Francisco areas largest universities and have been rivals since the late 1800's])...they seem to be most appropriate for this weasel... perform some surgery with a rusty papercutter... stuff his ass with broken glass and seal it up with glue... then, use the duct tape..." LILJOL of Canyon View, San Ramon, CA (the same who offered "Oh, [expletive deleted]...")
  • "It would be better if you were in Toronto. (I know, I know, don't start, I got a reason for sayin' it, lemme go on here.) Because Toronto is on a great lake. But it doesn't usually freeze in the winter in the Toronto parts. But the Saint Lawrence at Montreal sometimes does freeze in the winter. So if you were in Toronto, you could take his silly ass down to the lake and drown him, whatever the season of the year. That's why it would be better if you were in Toronto. your pal," - NYDAVY
  • "Warning: After NYDavey declaimed that henceforth I would be known as "Weasel-Pants-Boy," I obeyed his wishes and signed up a PPlus account at Nick as "WEASEL." However, unlike this ne'er do well, this Weasel stays on his own turf and actually gets decent scores.

    Seriously, you have one pathetic soul there, and this has been going on quite a while. Hmmm. I have gotten the impression the individual is doing this to improve his social standing, at least in his own mind. To treat the illness, you must remove this possibility.

    NTN offers bars time for advertising space: I suspect this is not well utilized by the bars in your area (they aren't down here). Perhaps you can get some time for free or for a nominal price warning of this gentleman. Something like: WARNING: SOMEBODY STOLE OUR PINs AND IS IMPERSONATING US. THE REAL PLAYERS NEVER BRAG ABOUT THEIR SCORES. IF ONE DOES, HE IS A FAKE. IGNORE HIM. That should clip his wings. As a twist on this, you could make up "NTN IDs" for the real players and use the screen to tell people to ask for the ID.

    It's better than killing him. Hope this helps a little." - Edward Stroligo

  • "If, by this point, your manager is not willing to ban this guy, you could resort to doing something evil to his car every time he shows up... maybe he'd get the message. By far, this is the most psycho asshole I've ever heard about he has anyone in our area beat hands-down. You could also call NTN & see if you could get his accout wiped... or you could all switch locations (don't let him know where), & be yellow plusses @ your "home" location... an inconvenience, but it *would* stop him from logging into your acc'ts. If you do that, use a differrent PIN, though. Personally, I would have gotten (at least) to the car-trashing, drink-dumping stage by now!!! Best of luck with this asshole!" - Tatiana, nom de NTN TATIA
  • "Wish I could! I guess he brings in $$$ to the house so that's why they won't kick him out. Maybe if you all left for a month or so (and the house saw your $$$ go away), maybe they'd throw him out? I dunno. Seems kind of drastic (why the hell should you have to leave, he's the one causing trouble). Maybe get a signed petition of all of yunz in the joint and give it to the manager so the manager can hall his ass out of there. Boy, do I feel sorry for you guys!" - Rob Polinsky
  • "kill him!! Nuke his ass! Burn and pillage him! Butter his ass and throw him over a prison's walls!" - Unknown, tho I have my suspicions
  • "get a few bums to come in to the pub everytime to comes in and have them sit by him eventually i would think that he would start to stink and would quit coming in!! just kidding all i got to say is good luck!!" - Brady Holmes
  • "There's a player at Fat Tuesday's in San Antonio (my location) that will use other accounts as well. We (the regulars) all grouped together in one part of the bar and asked the 'tender to give us the master remote. We put it on the Spanish-language network on all the other sets except the one we were in front of. Just isolate the SOB and change his channel. I wish I could take credit for the idea, but Matt (CHEW) came up with it. Good luck! - Jack (ASTRO)"
  • "Give him a box with a low battery!" - John Burton, AKA JOHNB
  • "Anything you can to get him banned. Its people like that who ruin the game for everyone else" - DCCHS Hopsfrog Tavern
  • We got a player like that in winnipeg. A Bozak at Boss-q's. Good player, but he stinks(literally) and after every question he will either extoll his brilliance(I don't equate intelligence with trivia knowledge anyway) or will scream foul that either NTN screwed the pooch or his board. we deal with him simply with threats of physical harm should he get out of hand. - AM-FM
  • I don't know, he just sounds like an a**hole. - Blake Kunisch
  • If there is another location that has NTN, I would tell the proprietor of Peel Pub that you and your buds are leaving Peel Pub. That will get Peel Pub to bar him from entering the establishment. - Anonymous
  • introduce him to Alex in Edmonton, but please do not send him here, we will send Alex there. - Anonymous
  • "BITCH, BITCH, BITCH, MOAN, MOAN MOAN..." - Anonymous
  • "The next time he shows you his book of PINs, take it away from him. And tell the manager that all the regular players are going to go to another bar until he's banned." - Robbie Honerkamp
