Cheating cheaty cheatsI'm rubbish at cheating. I was asked to help run a stall at a local fair. We sold squares on a treasure map for 10p a go, with the one closest to the "hidden treasure" winning stuff.
I told my sister where it was. I'd not really thought through how obvious this would be. I've kind of avoided cheating since, what have you cheated at? Confess all, it'll make you feel better.

dirty cheating geekI had a mate who used to (and maybe still does) cheat at dungeons and dragons.
It was utterly blatant. He'd roll the dice somewhere that you couldn't quite see them, declare "Yeah, I hit him," and pick them up before anyone could look, with an embarrassed expression.
Think about this for a mo - not only was he geeky enough to be playing D&D (as was I), he was cheating at it. There is no winner or loser in this game, it's a laugh, not a competition. So after retreating into a pretend world with his mates, he wants to be even more pretend by faking the randoms bits of the game that makes it exciting (as long as you find adding numbers up exciting, anyway...)
Cheating at D&D is like cheating at washing - it just makes people avoid you.
