Kept asking him questions about his motivation for being there until he got self-conscious and left. I would have kicked him if he hadn't, but I wanted to play with him so I tried to make him reflect over how he was playing the game.
Our jester type is a real butthole, and sadistically murders NPCs, always in ways or places that the two members who would care aren't aware of in game. However, he's a good player and does come up with very good strategies that keep us alive sometimes.
I failed to mention some of his jestery antics.
He urinates on anyone he can get away with doing so to.
He haggles over everything we buy, then still insists on stealing random shit.
He resets traps after getting past them.
He is often on "b***h detail", meaning he has to tie up noncombatants that aren't evil during missions. If they are female, he makes sure to grope them a lot, and usually murders them when the rest of us are busy, or tries to burn them to death when he torches the house.
Flirts with any old ladies we meet "to swindle their fortunes"
Antagonizes NPCs obviously important to the plot.
Promised a priest we'd try to heal his vampire son.
After he killed the vampire son, mocked his dad, and stole the poor box from the church.
Tried to frick the victimized noblewoman we were escorting.
During two separate fights has "run away to get help".
He suspected that some npcs were wereravens. When he noticed a raven watching in the window each night, he began sleeping in the nude.
He killed two guys with an outhouse.
I'm always playing the jester, but I fully immerse myself in every setting and try to befriend enemies instead of killing NPCs. the biggest problem I create for my group or DM is the constant side-tracking I cause by convincing them to do stupid shit like pimping our ride or opening a zoo of cannibals.
kek this
had a player like that once (friend of a friend which i didn't know at the time), and he kept ruining people's fun by sabotaging everything and not giving a shit
i had him cursed with a shadow of himself that would do the same moronic thing to him whenever he acted up, after a few sessions he left after being laughed at by the other players
>Literally just ignore everything they say and let them circlejerk each other.
That can be a problem for the GM, who has to in some way respond to "I pull my pants down and flash my butthole at the guards!" behavior. Well, beyond just kicking the player.
Teehee Maccaroni is the bane of my fricking existence.
Every fricking campaign that my GM runs inevitably at some point involves running into an NPC named "Teehee Maccaroni," who the GM affectionately describes as "an epic level sorcerer who's also a moronic nudist gnome."
Teehee Maccaroni wander the countryside with a unique Rod of Wonders powered by "moron magic" shoved up his anus, and he casts the Rod of Wonders by diddling his penis. He says nothing but his own name in different inflections and the phrase "I like-a the goodberry, gimme gimme the goodberry." The GM thinks it's hilarious to have this character show up during the middle of encounters we're struggling at and start jerking off magic everywhere.
But the worst part is his chant. He wanders around chanting his name, so when he's about to show up the GM will start low; >Tee-hee-hee, Maccaroni Maccaroni >Tee-hee-hee, Maccaroni Maccaroni
And then get louder and louder until he's fricking shouting >TEE HEE HEE, MACCARONI MACCARONI! >TEE HEE HEE, MACCARONI MACCARONI!
And the table loves it! The other guys I play with think this is the best shit! Teehee Maccaroni has been our table's de-facto inside joke, our signature "running gag" for six years now. When that chant starts up, everyone else joins in like a ritual; the whole table is expected to start chanting "TEE HEE HEE, MACCARONI MACCARONI" by the end, and every fricking time I refuse because this is some embarrassing circa-2002 Penguin of Doom shit, it's always the same thing; "There goes Anon again! No fun allowed around Anon! Anon's just a big grouch who's getting angry because we're making him touch Teehee Maccaroni's penis again! Why won't you just let us have fun with this character, he's just here for dumb fun, you stick-in-the mud!"

In my experience, this is the most toxic kind of player, so he should be removed as quickly as possible.

>If DM
Kick the homosexual out. Your time is too valuable to waste on moronic DnD brainrot victims.
>If player
Leave. Your time is too valuable to waste with a DM who won't remove DnD brainrot from his group.
Make a worse jester NPC. He doesn't take the game seriously? The jester NPC makes practical jokes about rape.

>How do you deal with the jester in your group?
jest kill 'er
But... Jingle is our friend...
>But... Jingle is our friend...
but... is really our friend?
DAE IT
Jingle is dead . . . there's now no game
Well worf it, m8
I don't actually play games because that's stupid, so never had this problem.
>You know, the player who didn't take the game seriously.
Literally just ignore them.
I play in a big West Marches-style sci-fi game. There are whole cliques of people who are like this. "RPGs are supposed to be FUNNY and STUPID!"
Literally just ignore everything they say and let them circlejerk each other.

>"I moon the guard! Lol!"
"You feel an intolerable agony as he jams his spear into your rectum and through your mouth. You are dead"
>RPGs are supposed to be FUNNY and STUPID!
I always hated this phrase, the rol is like theater, you have to play a character.
Video games are the ones that are supposed to be stupid and fun.
>didn't take the game seriously.
You mean people actually show up to roll dice just to have fun? What kind of fricking weirdo does that?
Same as any other interpersonal conflict in this hobby.
1. Try talking to him.
2. If that doesn't work, kick him from the group.
By talking to him. Same as any other issue.
We kill him.

These motherfrickers are all over 25 years old.
Teehee Maccaroni is going to be the death of me.
