However, for every one thing they add, I get to modify one thing on their sheet (oh, you get +100 to attacks? Too bad you're 110 as a human, where you die of old age and can't be resurrected). Obviously, I only do this if they purposefully cheat, not just mistakenly write the wrong value. This also tends to keep their sheets up to date.At any rate, if your other GM finds metagaming to be cheating (which I can certainly see why he would, depending on the game and the style), him punishing it by cheating better makes sense to me. Sometimes, saying, "you can cheat, but if you do, I'll cheat better" is more effective than saying, "please don't cheat." It just depends on the players.As always, play what you like <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
