[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7570780, member: 22779"] See, no. It's not. It's not a reasonable choice of actions in the context of the situation. THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT. The only reason that this becomes reasonable is if you meta-game the solution to breaking polymorph. That's why the player's stated actions are completely disconnected to what actually happens in the game. This is why we're arguing with you. If the choice of actions was reasonable, no one in this thread would have any problems. But, here's a different take. A few pages back, someone, perhaps [MENTION=97077]iserith[/MENTION]? asked if the player should hide his motivations. Should the player lie about why he's doing something so that the group doesn't object. That's the wrong question. The question you should ask is this: Why would a player continue to play at a table where the prevalent playstyle of the group makes that player feel like he or she needs to hide motivations and lie to the group? I mean, seriously. If you're at a table and you feel like the only way you get to do the things you want to do is to lie to the table, then, why continue to play at that table? There is obviously a serious disconnect between play styles here. Why would anyone continue to play at a table where it's becomes patently obvious that there is no reconciling these play styles? IOW, if you feel like you have to lie to your fellow players just to do what you think is best, that is a dysfunctional group. [/QUOTE]
