[QUOTE="FoxWander, post: 5465345, member: 1356"] Just trying to offer a different path between standing up and yelling "CHEATER!" in the middle of the game or anonymous notes and pushing someone else to deal with the problem. Granted drawing faces next to the numbers might be the height of silliness (although they seem to work alright in internet forums) but it also might be just the thing to defuse a blow-up from someone who, for all you know, could be a closet psychopath. Silliness aside, simply acknowledging between the two of you that you are well aware of his cheating (and also providing a record that could be handed to the DM) is a way of dealing with the situation openly but provides a way for the cheater to save face. And besides, we're talking about someone who cheats at a casual, non-competitive game among supposed friends- if that's not a 6yr old mentality I don't know what is. ;) [/QUOTE]
