[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 5869301, member: 177"] While folks will talk about "social contracts", with the emphasis on the "contract", and talk about duties and obligations of GMs... Tournament competition games aside, most games are casual things, played for fun. If you are at my table, I treat you like a friend first, and as a part of the "business" of the game second. So, I approach this like I would any time it seems a friend willfully and knowingly did something rude in my home - which is to keep an open mind and discuss the matter like a friend, not a judge. Maybe my information is incorrect, or misinterpreted, or has some other explanation of which I'm not aware. So I am not going to shame someone in front of a crowd or anything the first time I address it. I'll talk to the player first in private, and in a fairly non-confrontational tone. Less, "I saw you cheating, and the next time I see it you are GONE!" and more, "Dude, what's up with that?" [/QUOTE]
