Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rasyr" data-source="post: 314353" data-attributes="member: 2855">After getting out of the service, I moved to a small town with only one game store. The owner of the store was also just about the only DM  who would accept new players at that point (all other games being full). I soon found out why...This guy treats everything as a contest, especially gaming. He thinks it is a DM vs. player thing. He is so compulisive obsessive about this that he finds any way he can to ourtight cheat, and see how much he can get away with.I have seen him actually use loaded dice in generating a character for another person's game. I have seen him switch which dice was high (on every roll in a game using percentile dice) so that his "method" of determining which is high always favored the die that had rolled higher. I have seen him use dice that were almost identical, and had very faded numbers so nobody could read them but him...Just about any sort of method possible, when both DMing or playing......The final straw was in a game of M:TG at a local restaurant, a game night hosted by the owner's son. Where he blatantly tried to cheat, saying that a 1 point plink, was completely nullified by another card which would cut damage in half (rounded up).What made it worse was that nobdy else would argue with him because he owned the only game shop in town...  (this was a few years ago)Since then, other things have happened (him being very vindictive when he doesn't get his own way, and totally off-topic of this thread), and  now I refuse to even walk into his store, let along put any money in his pocket. If I really need to visit a gaming store, I will drive an hour to the next nearest one rather than have to deal with such an idiot.</blockquote>
