humm...
Wouldn't the term "cheat" be a little strong in this case?
...
I used to think that careing about the rules was tantamount to the whole RPG 
thing.
I don't feal like that anymore.
I want to try and include anyone who want's to actually play.
My "snotty little attitude" has soured folks from playing "make-believe" in 
the past.
I hope to attone...

Yes SIR! I agree!
And if the rules actually make that talking clearer to all the players then

I wanna see the visual YOU see when you tell me something as a GM.

Shucks! where's YOUR campaign?
There's SO many interesting people on this list that it'd be SO interesting 
to play in their campaigns.
I doubt, however, that any of us are playing the same game.

I could be wrong...
