    I cannot support THIS too much.

    Even if you allow ONE player to simply interrupt what all the other players are doing (which is never a good idea if you want a cooperative game, mind in Paranoia or White WOlf Games this is quite ... fun at times ^^) you dont do so as a "**** you all, I`m off" fit of pique.

    General problems with Bobs very... Diablo view on RPG`s aside, any GM worth his salt in D&D in such a situation shoudl say "No, you dont. YOU dont decide that 3 other players and what they are doing are less important than you. Sit down and wait your turn!".
    Even if you submit to ONE Players "No Monologue "Rule", this was clearly not a monologue but an interaction of the other Players and your NPC:


    postscript: now if it was the plan of the group to distract the "Bad Guy and for "Fire Bob to blast him, disregard the above, then only leaving and bitching were bad form. ;)

    A neutron walks into a bar and says, “How much for a beer?” The bartender says, “For you? No charge.”
