[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 4978713, member: 4937"] No. I'm unlikely to call anyone out publically for anything. However, if you play a character of any sort and you are obviously not making any attempt to play the character you created then I'm probably going to take you aside and have a talk with you and see if I can work something out, because you'd be seriously cramping my fun. And regardless of the game system, if you took alot of mental and social disadvantages in order to maximize your combat power and then seem to be doing everything in your power to evade and minimize those disadvantages, then yes, I'm going to consider it cheating. I probably won't call it 'cheating' to your face, because IME, the sort of people that do that are too immature and have ego's that are too easily bruised to deal with issues like this in a frank and mature manner, but I'm probably going to explain to you that you aren't living up to your end of the deal and hense if you don't change your ways you are going to find me increasingly adding a heavy mechanical burden to your play to force you to abide by your characters disadvantage. If on the other hand, I think you are honestly doing your best to play your character rather than trying to 'trick', 'manipulate', or 'game' the system and by extension me, then we probably won't have any issues.
