[QUOTE="Nagol, post: 5706838, member: 23935"] Sure, sort of. If the players and GM are having fun, that's great so long as one is not having fun at the expense of the other. I've run games where I cheated -- with the full and complete understanding of the players that I was to cheat to make it more fun for the group. Though usually for games like these, we'd pull out a more camp game like [I]Teenagers from Outer Space[/I] or [I]Tales from the Floating Vagabond[/I]. I've had DMs try to do the same without that understanding and it was fun for a session or two -- until I caught on and stopped playing with them entirely. See, the social contract is there so everyone understands what is and is not acceptable in group context. If someone acts against that contract he is signalling his preferences are more important than those of the group. Otherwise, treat the people you're spending time with with a modicum of respect and tell them what you'd prefer, why, and make a suggestion for change. [/QUOTE]
