[QUOTE="Merkuri, post: 4453487, member: 41321"] I feel like the best way to solve the problem with a minimum of drama is to implement a new rule that everyone has to follow, like hanasays's rolling area, that makes cheating impossible, or at least very hard. You're not calling out that player specifically, but by making an area in the middle of the table the designated "rolling area" and saying that all rolls outside the area must be rerolled should be enough to stop the behavior. It's basically a subtle way to say, "I know you're cheating, and I don't like it, so stop." If you implement a rule that prevents cheating you're probably going to get one of two reactions to the problem player, depending on their maturity level. She could either throw some sort of tantrum and storm out (in which case she created the drama, not you, and it probably would've happened eventually), or she will probably just accept the new situation and stop cheating. Like others have said before, she's likely cheating just because she can get away with it. If you make it difficult for her she'll probably just stop with no fuss. If she finds some way to continue to cheat after you've implemented this rule then it might be time to take her aside and have a heart-to-heart. Either that or just accept her cheating and live with it, because at that point she's probably not going to stop unless you flat-out tell her to stop. [/QUOTE]
