[QUOTE="The_Universe, post: 2361898, member: 8944"] It was a great secret (and I wish she could have kept it longer) but everyone makes compromises to make a good game. Fortunately, I think the game that she's currently playing in has a larger *expectation* of secrets, so hopefully this kind of demand will fall by the wayside. In one of the games I DMed a long time ago (when I was in high school), we had a game based entirely on the idea that someone "in the group" was a traitor to the cause, and was feeding the enemy information. At the time, it was my practice to play a character of my own while DMing, so (naturally) the suspicion of the group fell on my character. The easiest character for the enemy to corrupt is the one the GM controls, after all. But, my character was innocent! I had arranged with another one of the players to "be the traitor," and he kept me updated as to what and how he was feeding to the enemy. They found out after more than a month, and they were *furious.* Fortunately, they were able to confine their anger to the character, rather than the player. Good times! [/QUOTE]
