Nah, he'd have to have a mind to lose first... ;-)

Actually, I don't know. To me, what Nexx is describing isn't quite the same
as the "plot goes this way now" face (which I'm forced to integrate and
cover for all the time). What it sounded to me was more like Nexx was
utterly bored with the style/type of game that he's involved in, and wants
to take his character(s) in directions his GM simply isn't going at that
point.
