Well, why do they need to check the misses? I don't get that.

Well that's my point. If they were actually interested in the roll then I could understand the need to see the die whether it was a hit or a miss. Instead, they just assume I'm going to try and cheat them for some reason so they only check out the hits.

The irony being I could lie about every single hit that rolls out of view, tell them it's a miss, and they would be perfectly happy. That means it's not about honesty or sportsmanship, it's about winning.

The more I think about it the more I think it's just a personal quirk of mine. I tend to trust someone implicitly when I meet them until they give me a reason not to. If I'm playing a new opponent and they say it's a hit, it's a hit. If I happen to see them lying about one of their hits then yes, I would check them from then on. I have never lied about a roll in my life but it seems like the people I play with must be used to people fudging their rolls so they automatically assume I will do the same.

I re-roll if it's not flat or if it falls off the table. By the by, I get peeved by aggressive die rollers that roll dice right into my painted figs.
