[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 15540, member: 63"] I voted for them to win and then live in peace, but that's not quite right. They'll usually win, and then live in peace for a while, but they do have to deal with the aftermath of their victory from time to time. However, that's just the ideal. In my latest game . . . *sigh* . . . we got to the 2nd to last encounter, and then half the players left to go see Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back. It was the day before I had to go back to college for the Fall, so we never got to finish the game. And one of the players claimed I'd been "conspiring" with another player, trying to cheat them. God, the idiots. It was for the sake of drama that I had to let one of the other players in on a secret, but they have to take the ****ing game like it's all about 'not just winning, but not looking bad or losing in any way.' :):):):)ing :):):):):):):)s. I'm sorry, but if anyone out there has ever done anything like that and ruined the climax of a three-year game, I hope you get a joint of your pinky chopped off. . . . *sigh* Forgive me Lord, for I have wished ill upon others. But maybe if by just expressing myself thus, I might be able to convince others to never ruin a story in this way. It has left a bad taste in my mouth for months, and is perhaps the only thing in life I am truly bitter about. [/QUOTE]
