[QUOTE="Bacrof, post: 1417376, member: 6272"] This isn't a case of the GM twisting the player's words. There is a big difference between "attacked" and "hit by". It isn't the GM's job to figure out that the player means one rather than the other. How is holding a player to his stated action a case of hosing him? How many ways can you take "I attack the guy who hits me"? You're pandering to the players here. I agree. But you can't let the players off the hook if they make a bad decision and then want to backtrack. Again, there is a big difference between "attack" and "hit". You can't assume that one means the other. A player who speaks English should know the difference. I think you're overstating the problem here. We aren't talking about a GM who deliberately mangles a player's words to screw him over. The player stated a clear action and the GM held him to it. That's the right thing to do. Players should think carefully about their actions BEFORE stating them to the GM, not after. [/QUOTE]
