This week we talk about Josh's all-time favorite game. The one, the only...TWILIGHT IMPERIUM.
Thanks to the Minibosses!
One night during the summer of 1997, Josh Look's cool uncle who owned a comic shop taught him how to play Magic the Gathering. The game set off his imagination in a way that he could not sleep that night, and he's been fascinated by games ever since. He spent many afternoons during his high school years skipping homework to play Dungeons & Dragons and paint Warhammer minatures, going on to discover hobby board games in his early 20s. He's been a writer for ThereWillBe.Games and is the creator and co-host of the geek culture podcast, The Wolfman's Lounge. He enjoys games that encourage a heavy amount of table talk and those that explore their themes beyond just their settings.

It's every other player's obligation to assess the board state and make their moves from there. What he did doesn't even qualify as bullying or the kind of anti-social behavior that Matt was posting about last week. He didn't pressure anyone. He didn't argue. He didn't hide his moves. All he did was use someone else's mildly unethical behavior (eavesdropping) against them. Anyone suggesting that that is cheating has no argument and is looking for a way to express: "What he did is smarter than anything I would have ever done. Therefore, it must be wrong."
