Loaded Dice. Are you kidding me?

I don't get to play 40k as often as I would like to. I have a job that has a bit of responsibility and pressure, a lengthy commute, and two little girls. It's a total privilege to get to throw some dice down and push around my favorite painted army men and aliens. I do get to go to Adepticon, which is lovely. When I play, I definitely try my best, but I am the furthest thing from a WAAC player. When I do play a very competitive opponent, I don't mind as long as I know going into the game. I don't find them distasteful or boring...it's just another way to play the game.

But cheating? [read more]

And cheating with LOADED DICE? What is this, the 40's? Is James Cagney going to burst into the hotel ballroom and spray bolter shells?

So check this out on BoK: Cheating at Beakycon

This guy used a weighted die. It rolled sixes all the time. For initiative, for deployment, you get the idea. He was DQed from winning prizes, but no one seems to be talking about the fact that he played two games BEFORE he got caught. Doesn't that fuck over those people?

So they (the organizers) didn't eject him, they won't call him out online, and they won't address it directly. And his justification was that he never saw that die before, and people are saying "well, that makes it a sticky issue." It does? It strikes me as being in the same camp as "Officer, I've never seen that crack pipe in my pocket before. I was holding it for a friend." But maybe it's just me. I have young children, so maybe I'm more attuned to stretched truth. But this one seemed flipping obvious to me.

Am I totally off here?
