Thanks. I think there's a big difference between "Trying, to a reasonable (therein lies the rub!) extent, to stay faithful to the rules of the game/table, so everyone has a similar expectation of what is possible in the world," and "Trying to squeeze the language and meaning of the rules to give my character an edge, while generally not caring about other's enjoyment."
