[QUOTE="Moggthegob, post: 4457518, member: 49515"] I have only cheated in one game I ever played in ever. And that was because the group was large and the playstyle made me nervous. I am mostly an rper and I was playing in a group where everyone's aim was to power-game. I still liked the game, and I liked my characters ,but always always it felt like I was an insignifiant member of the party. It seemed like the only way to stand out or even get to be part of the story was to fudge rolls. The DM only ever actively ivolved the party leader in the plot. Everyone else gotto nothing, and as someone who doesnt often to play humans, I suffered more due to the DM's sensibilities on "how things work"( and don't get me started on magic, if you werent a sorceror, you didn't get spells....EVER). Once again, I didn;t want to leave the group but I didnt want to change my playstyle. SO I contnued to fudge rolls and I got to stand out and I got to be part of the story. ANd I stopped dying( death occured often in this game) So really as a result of pressure and a want to be involved in the game beyond rolling dice at the margins of the game, I felt like I HAD to cheat to actually get any enjoyment out ofthe game. Ironically, everyone was so wrapped up in their own stuf, they didnt even realize I was cheating until a new player joined and pointed it out. This group has since split due to edition wars and I only game with one of them now. [/QUOTE]
