You mean like when one player just attacks another without previous
arrangement or agreement? Yup, that's just what we did.

There was no inherent understanding that in any given game, we were going
to get into big intraparty brawls. It just happened that way. We never set
out to do this. Half the time we sat around at the end of the evening going

DOES NOT MAKE IT CONSENSUAL. Acceptance and consent are two different things.
