[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 6807847, member: 23751"] I would not do something secretly that I KNOW the people around me don't want me to do. Fortunately, I don't have to worry about that. Also, if only one person doesn't want it, I can try to keep that in mind and not fudge against that person, but I'm not going to stop completely for just one person. It's a matter of approach. If someone says to me, "I was online and a discussion about fudging came up and I agreed with those that didn't like it.", that would be fine. That's just expressing an opinion and not a lack of trust in the DM. Direct questioning about whether I do it or not shows a lack of trust, and I'm not going to have someone in the game that doesn't trust me. That's just asking for game disruption and I won't do that to myself or the rest of the players. The player with the lack of trust should really want to go find another game anyway. Nobody should have to play with a DM they don't trust. No player should also force his way on all of the others, either. If one player wants me to do something one way, and the other three don't, the one player is out of luck. If three want something one way and one doesn't, the one is out of luck. If it's a tie, I break the tie. The exception is if the other three agree to go along with what the one player wants, even if they don't want it done. I play with a group of close friends, so this is usually, but not always the case. [/QUOTE]
