[QUOTE="jmucchiello, post: 4457167, member: 813"] Doesn't that cut both ways? And yet, anecdotally, I already said I did exactly that with my group when we caught a player cheating. We (the other players and I) had an out of game powwow about "what to do about it". And I asked everyone standing there, "If that's how so-and-so needs to play to have fun, is it really a deal breaker?" Do you pitch your 15+ year relationship with him over cheating at a silly game? Yes, at first they reacted "But he's cheating." But at the point of kick your friend when he's down or learn to live with it, they all were willing to live with it. I suppose the difference is I didn't put on my DM hat and say "we will do nothing." So it isn't exactly as you described. My only concern about it was that we would hang our friend out to dry as it were. Again, I don't want you to think I'm a Kumbaya-singing** fool. There's friendship and there's things that cross the line. Another player was driving to game drunk and stepping our for a cig (and a drink) during game. Him we asked to get help and asked not to return until he got it. ** Firefox's spellchecker doesn't recognize Kumbaya. Suggestions: Lumbago or Scumbag. [/QUOTE]
