Its even the name of my blog. Maybe i...Ruleslawyer. Its even the name of my blog. Maybe it helps to think about it from the other side a bit. If you're playing a competitive game, especially with someone you don't know, when you don't play the rules right you're cheating. Some game rules are dumb for better or for worse. If they need changes ahead of time, great. Nothing annoys me more than surprise rules changes as you play the game. It stinks of little kids suddenly switching the rules on you when they figure out they're going to lose.<br /><br />FWIW, Ruleslawyer in a co-op or friendly game is normally a drain. Ruleslawyer in a competitive environment (such as a tournament) tends to raise the level of overall play.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
