"How do you deal with a flatulent gamer?" Topic

Well… Heavy duty air freshener? Aroma therapy candles? Matches handy?

I fight fire with fire.

You shouldn't have to do this, but take them aside and tell them how offensive and ill mannered this is. If they have to toot they can go outside to take care of business. If they can't adult up and be responsible time to dis-invite from games.

Try to beat him at his own game! Bring on the refried beans!

Find a classier group of people to game with.

Treat it as part of a simulation? Particularly in WW1 games. The foul smell of a battlefield is one thing in the contemporary records often write about.

Make a joke, blame the dog or ignore it…we aren't Roman emperors. If a guy is chronic, well we have all been there.

Tell them that this is a gas-free zone and no gas warfare is allowed.

Never had that issue.

That counts as a reason not to game with them again.

Blame it on the dog?!?

I do my best to just hold it in. When I cannot, I politely say "excuse me." My neurotropic medication gives me constant, usually noisy gas, but fortunately only infrequently smelly. If I had to step outside every time I had to toot, I'd never game at all.

Depends if he has a medical condition or is just rude.

Apparently this only applies to historical gamers?

Oh no, ALL gamers are equally guilty of this crime against humanity.

Wait for an artillery barrage in your game, light a match and provide your own sound affects.

Gas happens….this too shall pass.

The need to lose a unit to the enemy for every time they don't leave the area to fart. That will take care of that problem.

You could offer Beano to all gamers at the table. Then say, "Gene, don't you want some? All the cool gamers are doing it. First Beano is on the house."

The problem with this question is that I am sometimes a farty gamer. The diet of pizza with meats peppers and onions combined with cola just fuels my chemical factory into production overload. Its easily solved by opening a window or getting some air circulation.

Light up a cigar.

Dan, that's a great answer!

Here I sit
All Broken Hearted
Came To Game
And Only Farted

Be polite.

Mock him relentlessly, then reply in kind!

Have a laugh with him about it, try and make him feel comfortable, he may be anxious, drop a few yourself….. and chuckle hard, don't be such a sissy

Have a curry and compete…..have always said "better out than in"

Getting old often has side effects. For example people with colon surgeries are prone to gas. Treating someone poorly is thoughtless and in poor taste. If the gamer is embracing his ability then go to it but keep in mind some are at the mercy of an aging body.

I've seen worse.

Dashetal – I agree, our group is not getting any younger!

Tell him his car is still running. As he leaves to check it out, close the door and lock it.
