Sportsmanship
We have an expectation of sportsmanship, and it will be enforced. Fouling 16 turns, Stalling, and running up the score are not poor sportsmanship. Gloating or ridiculing your opponent while doing so is. We’ve all had bad dice games, accept them with grace and dignity when hampered or helped by them.
