What if it IS what my character would do?

[Talakeal]

Am I misunderstanding or is this supposed to be a positive example of GM behavior? Because I find interpreting the situation as any sort of PvP or negative behavior at all rather odd.

Yah i agree. To me this looked like an attempt to assist/give an assistance bonus.

Maybe without context yes, but if you knew the player in question, it really isn’t.

Said player was an extreme control freak / spotlight hog, and would constantly try and put himself center stage when anyone else was having a moment to shine.

The GM picked up on this and nipped it in the bud before it could escalate into any sort of PVP or ooc hurt feelings.
