Different Paths You accidentally discovered spoilers, informed your DM, and agreed to behave in an honorable fashion. The OP's culprit was told not to look at a specific spoiler and he deliberately sought it out. -Samir

Logos! Agreed. ;) -Samir

Okay .... No and yes, respectively. :D -Samir

MB Xaos! I scored INFP ... but I was INTJ for years (and briefly INTP). -Samir

Represent! Friendship is about quality, not quantity.

Apologia (x4) So, if a student deliberately seeks out an instructor's answer key and then takes the exam ... it's okay, so long as the student does not "act" on the knowledge from the answer key? Fair enough, but I don't really consider cheating and/or disrespect to be playing styles. He didn't...

Aznar Thrul = Keyser Söze The Usual Suspects -Samir Asad

Apologia (x3) This is sound reasoning, assuming that Ben comes to the correct conclusion (i.e., apologizes for his misconduct and offers to make restitution). We don't know this. Ben might though. That's definitely possible. Yes, it's about a game that requires a certain level of trust between...

True Dat! Agreed. Agreed. -S.A.

Apologia (x2) Of course, you could always say: "Dude, I don't agree with you ... but you're my friend. It was not my intention to upset you, and I'd like to work this out. Please give me some time to cool off and I will call you back." -S.A.

Apologia Refusal to agree does not necessarily make a person right ... and one can cause a lot of damage out of ignorance (i.e., negligence). Anyways, I don't believe anyone here requested an insincere apology. -Samir

ENworld = Elite Gaming You bet. It requires a fairly extensive time commitment, especially if you DM. Running a campaign for hours (and weeks) on end for someone who consistently cheats and actively disrepects you is my idea of Hell. -S.A.

Query Then why criticize? -Samir

Logos! More power to you. I know the decision was not easy, but trust me ... you did the right thing. Good gaming, and good life. ;) -S.A.

Social Contract Semantics If this term bothers you, then feel free to call it "honor" instead. This comparison is misleading. The culprit did not simply play a module that he was already familiar with. Instead ... he deliberately sought out information on a new module, in defiance of his DM's...

Straight Talk Although motives may mitigate judgments, they do not alter material facts. Assuming the OP is being straight with us, the culprit was told not to look at spoilers and did it anyway. At the very least, this action is negligent ... and, at worst, an outright betrayal of trust. In...

Juke Joint Jezebel? Dude, just remember ... hot chicks dig industrial music. Rammstein Über Alles!

RPG Spoilers = Cheating = Problems in Vegas So the culprit is justified because he chose not to abide by a reasonable moral suggestion (i.e., don't cheat)? A movie is not a game. Although the perception of a film is mutable, its actual outcome cannot be altered through prior knowledge. -Samir

RPG Veritas Then why did you look at the spoilers? Also, did you read this material after you were asked not to? In my humble opinion, cheating includes acting dishonestly or deliberately violating a social contract. What's your definition? Although I could be wrong, I don't think the OP's...

Leviathan 2007 Well, at least in my case you don't have to assume. ;) Not necessarily, but you do have a rather intriguing view of human nature. -Samir
