I find it strange, somewhat ironic, and even a bit funny how [@Lady Amalthea] can be the source of almost everything I know about GMing and yet we have such radically different views on the subject. Roleplaying is a collaborative storytelling exercise at its core and I can't imagine trying to do that in an environment where I fundamentally distrust applicants and players. I even say that as a particularly cynical individual who has become rather ruthless in my enforcement of rules. But I digress as any further elaboration on this becomes a discussion on game management methodology and that's a topic that can fill a thread on it's own.
