[QUOTE="Fifth Element, post: 4456535, member: 48135"] Helpful. But "cheating" is a very broad term. If you're talking about cheating on your taxes, I agree with you. Cheating in a game that ultimately doesn't really matter in any important sense? Not the same thing. Why? Listen, my point is this. In my view, cheating [B]in this context[/B] isn't a big deal. It doesn't cause any objective pain to anyone. If I found one of my players was cheating, I'd say "whatever floats your boat". If the other players were bothered by it, I would not only ask the cheater "why do you cheat?", I would also ask the others "why does it bother you?" If it's something you can easily get over, we'd all be better off if you got over it. On either side. In this case, the other players do mind, so the issue needs to be addressed, as I said before. But the assertions that there is something inherently wrong with this player, and that she should be cast out of the group, are off-base. There's more to conflict resolution than "my way or the highway." [/QUOTE]
