[QUOTE="kitsune9, post: 5462142, member: 18507"] I totally agree; however there is a risk element in a direct confrontation. For example, I've given examples where I dumped one particular group because everyone was cheating back in the 2e days. One of them was my roommate, the others were his personal friends--a husband and wife team who personally were not afraid to respond to any accusation of cheating with a fight. I had been threatened once before by the husband when I wanted to audit his character for the last session. So, my own choice is that 1) should I call out everyone and deal with four against one two hours away from my home and one hour away from the nearest hospital, or 2) let it ride and just get the heck out of Dodge? #2 was my choice. So, would people call me a coward? Definitely if we were at war for Queen and Country, but this is a game and isn't worth getting punched in the face and suffering from multiple lacerations simply because I wanted to take the moral high ground with neanderthals. I had the misfortune of getting involved with people who were not hesitant to use violence to get their way and they played rpgs, so it wasn't worth it for me to call them on their cheating. The safest option was to call the evening short, go home and no quit playing with them. [/QUOTE]
