Sigh... haven't we all.  First Odell wants to change my opinion about this
and he's gone to great lengths to do so...  I haven't budged on the 40/2hr
issue.  So now we have to resort to implying that the GM is possibly cheating,
even with someone (impartial) looking over his shoulder?

And you wonder why a GM is reluctant to get involved with playing computers?
They either lose or get accused of cheating?  How exactly do they win?
