On Discworld we have found it works better if you tell the players
what you are going to do before you do  it, and explain your
reasoning.  They will argue with you, and perhaps even make good points
which change how you do things, but it gives them a chance to air
their opinions first and then they are less shocked and upset when
the change actually occurs.

Slowly fluffing away,
David.

PS Discworld has been running for 9 years.
