[QUOTE="Obryn, post: 4452846, member: 11821"] Talking to both of you at the same time... For one thing, the dishonesty bothers me. She [I]knows[/I] she's doing something sneaky - it's not like she's saying "I rolled a 7, but I'd like to re-roll because I don't feel fulfilled in my life if I miss this Magic Missile." We have the numbers and pencils and dice and action points for a reason, and ignoring all the die rolls flies in the face of that. Where's the risk if you always pull out that 'lucky' shot exactly when it's most convenient? It's another form of spotlight-hogging. It's pathetic and sad to me because I don't see the point in cheating in what is otherwise a theoretically cooperative endeavor. So what if you miss with that at-will spell? Life goes on. Sometimes folks fail at what they do, and everyone deserves a chance to be a hero sometimes. If our final goal is having fun as a [I]group[/I], what's wrong with doing it honestly? My goal with board games is to have fun as a group, too, but I don't smile and look the other way when folks cheat there, either. I can live with it, generally, and I have since she started gaming with us almost a year ago. It definitely bothers several of my players, though, and it's gotten worse for some reason. Her fun doesn't outweigh the rest of the table's fun. -O [/QUOTE]
