Originally posted by Melusine: LOL, well first off the DM makes a lot of the die rolls (and s/he can cheat with those in real life as well when necessary) and secondly, if a player consistently cheats, it will be noticed. Most people don't like to play with munchkins, and most people don't even like to BE munchkins - so why would they cheat?

MOST people. If someone does not fall into the category of MOST people; they may cheat and will not be able to notice cheating. So, someone else could subtly cheat in order to give the munchkin a taste of his/her own medicine. They will most probably become less and less subtle as the game progresses, AND get used to doing- to the point of them doing it in other games they play in; and wammo!! another munchkin born.
And there is the major downfall of AD&D with regards to the internet- it leaves itself very open for cheating. That may be eliminated by making a game specifically for the net; which closes those holes online. The only problem I can see with this as yet is that it would be very impractical to play this in RL; but that is of no real concern as this would be designed for the net.
