[QUOTE="kitsune9, post: 4823555, member: 18507"] Well, I wouldn't reach for my torch and pitchfork for one fudged dice roll, but consistently fudging dice rolls becomes an issue of trust. I had a good friend who I could no longer game with because he constantly fudged his rolls. He would roll the die and grab it as soon as it stopped rolling so no one could see what he really rolled and gave me the "result". The reason why I knew he was cheating because the few times I did see the die roll he gave a different number than what I saw. I know for some people, they treat this as a game, but it's also a social contract in that cheating is a matter of disrespect for others and even moreso outright lying. I hate being lied to so I would likely to be personally offended if it was going on, game or not. I know for some people, they don't mind it, they look the other way. Others will tolerate it because if they confront it, it would the death of their hobby as they live in an area where gamers are virtually non-existant. I can really understand that and if it works for them, that's great. For me, I live in an area that supports three large conventions a year and a number of small "mini-cons" so that makes gamers a dime-a-dozen, so I would definitely fall in the zero-tolerance group. Hmmmm....torch and pitchfork....Maybe that will be a new prop in my next game session. :) [/QUOTE]
