Evening Heresy, I was wondering what you thought about something that happened earlier tonight.
My housemates and I were playing a three-way game and my girlfriend called. After I got done talking to her I came back into the room with the game. Each of my mates told me what had happened while they tried to keep going with the game while I was on the phone. I roll the saves I needed to and started to play out my turn. I roll for reserves, bring them in, then move on to my farseer. I have her cast fortune, I announce what I'm rolling for, roll and announce that it succeeded.
I look at one of my mates who had a GK Grand Master, and ask "Counter?," as in "Do you want to try to counter my casting fortune?" He was in a conversation and didn't take notice. After waiting a bit, I look to my other mate and check with him that I had announced loudly and clearly enough to be heard and that my other mate had a chance to react if he wanted to. I then proceeded with my turn. My first mate wrapped up his conversation and the friend he was talking to leaned over to whisper something to him. Guessing he was telling my mate I hadn't cast fortune on my seer council, as I had neglected to in a previous game against them, and told him I had in fact cast it and offered him a chance to counter, which he did not take. He has now accused me of "playing dirty."
I ask you all, essentially, how much should I hold my opponent's hand? I announced what I was doing, offered a chance to counter and he did not pay attention. He knew I had come back into the room to resume the game, he had talked to me about what had happened when I was on the telephone. I try to be a courteous player and ask you if you believe I have not lived up to an adequate standard of courtesy.
