Message: <blockquote data-quote="Someone" data-source="post: 3046396" data-attributes="member: 5656">None of those two options: the default is "I don´t have enough information."I see your point, though; you think that in doubt, the DM is "innocent". The move is also quite astute: if I respond "fair", then you can easily point that there´s no enough evidence to condemn the encounter; if I say "unfair" you accuse me of being biased. I don´t think however this is what we´re discussing; what you posted is similar to this:"There is a man.Is your default that the man is tall unless there is reason to believe otherwise, or that it is short unless there is reason to believe otherwise?"I have a set of parameters on what is fair and unfair the same way as I have a set of parameters on when is a parson tall, and compare the information presented in the OP, filling the gaps with the most reasonable (IMO) assumptions (assumptions we all have to make). This has two problems, as I´m the first admiting: my take on what´s fair and unfair is subjective, the same way that the opinion of at what exact height is a man tall or short varies from person to person, and even can vary depending on the circumstances; the trap may be perfectly fine in a campaing where people play characters called "Ted the fighter XVI", and part of the fun is that everyone dies at least twice per session, but won´t fit the standard of "fair" in most of the campaings.Also, my assumptions and the logical construction built on them may either not be the most reasonable (though I still think they are, not having been shown otherwise) or I could have misinterpreted the OP (but I don´t think so)</blockquote>
