Go up one level in this thread


I think it is important to see the arguments for both sides, which I don't think
were presented.

Obviously, the argument that the game should not count is that Rebel was not
playing at its full strength, so we didn't get to see a healthy Rebel play.

But, a GM that is sick and plays much worse than normally has to live with his
results; he can't just say the game "doesn't count". If the GM's 'hardware' has
a cold and isn't working right, it should be no different than if Rebel's
hardware isn't working right.

Anyway, those are the two arguments.
