Mostly, just want some perspective of someone who isn't directly involved. Any opinions?

The other two sound like annoying as fuck retards, once is maybe ok, but I just don't deal well with mentally handicapped loud people in general
Inb4 no fun allowed
I also hate Ork players who shout WAAAAAGH

Also
>refuse to stop because it's no big deal according to them
Means that they where kindly asked to stop their retard behavior but won't because they find it hilarious to be retards

If Paul put up with that for this long, you owe it to him to kick those two idiots. Bonus points if you fiat-kill their characters first, then tell them they are banned

>refuse to stop
If the fucking tards aren't going to stop when you ask them nicely to quit being annoying shitheads with their inside joke, you should either threaten to kick them out if they don't stop and see if Paul will be cool with that or do something drastic like fucking KILL their characters every time they do it. Use some specific thing that you've made up from out of their past that arrives and fucks them because they can't handle it.
They'll either get the message or leave.
If you don't have a fully functioning brain, you could at least act like it instead of being a tard for no reason.

>LGS randos
>They're not great players, annoying
This sounds about par for the course. And you're right that what they're doing is just not banworthy.
Here's what you do: Ask Paul to find a new game for the both of you with better players. In the meantime, you work on expediting the game so that it ends in the next few sessions and finishes on a half decent note. You may continue to demand that the two problem players cut it out with the in-jokes. This is optional on your part but encouraged.
If all goes according to plan, you'll have a new game (possibly as a player) and no drama or burnt bridges.

Drop the two assholes.

>refuse to stop
There's the reason why I wouldn't feel bad about booting these two. You've told them that their behavior is annoying to other members of the group, and they refuse to acknowledge that it's a problem, insisting that the blame lies with everone who doesn't like it. Keep the good player, lose the morons.

>>54285775
how often do you play? for how many sessions has this gone on?
