Re: [DL] What to do with a cheater

["jason adkins" <danthius@hotmail.com>]

Fire is our friend.  Ah, Method #1, followed by an ample use of wasted time 
on the Game Master's part, allbeit a secure way to take care of further 
problems.  The solution may be to much effort, and cause to much player 
strife, that can be avoided.  Always, consider whether your cheater is worth 
keeping as a friend, at least....
