I've really just started playing in PFS and have enjoyed the chance to play an rpg again, since I'm new to my area. I've played a few sessions and have enjoyed it but have noticed some play styles that are, let's just say, not as pure as mine. I like over-coming the challenges put in front of us without bending any rules and if it means I die with my code, so be it. I don't expect everyone to have such an idealistic approach to the game but find it troubling when these little "white lies" are the reason for our success. I have not seen anything that warrants a formal complaint, but a few things were missed by the GM or a player was trying to get away with something that significantly altered the outcome of the encounter. So as a player of PFS do I point out that the spell caster just cast while being threatened and did not get an AoO against him/her? Do I bring notice to the fact that the charge someone made was not legal because they had to go up stairs and that would require moving through difficult terrain and shorten their overall distance traveled? I know a GM can't catch everything, Lord knows I don't when I GM! But I come from groups that liked to make sure everything was legit and if one of us saw something at the table that didn't add up we said something and the GM usually appreciated it. But this is different, I don't know these people, they are not my close rpg buddies and, as I said, I am new to the area. I don't want to alienate myself from the players or worse make them angry and I do not want to appear as a know it all to the GM. Also I understand that the main point is to have fun and everything else follows. I have decide to let it all ride and just enjoy playing, but part of me feels cheapened that our victory is debatable. I'm just curious what others think on this topic and would love some feedback on my ridiculousness, how to handle/ignore this at the table or what not. Thanks in advance!
