Have you ever bullied, if ever so politely and for seemingly
justified reason, a waiter into taking an item off your restaurant
bill? The serve/serves relationship is delicate. Yesterday I very
I heavily offended the waiter at a local restaurant I frequent by
sking him to refill my ice tea glass. The apparancy was that he
considered that a job for the buss boys and thus beneath him. Ergo,
my reqesting he fill my glass was tantamount to me saying he was no
better than a buss boy.
Ignoring the patent silliness of this example or the extreme
silliness of such authority/seniority/dick-waving/dominance games,
the problem is that it is true, it happens, and there's little we
can do about it. It can be even more delicate when the relative
positions of the roles are not clearly defined. Consider the
relative positions of say a patron of a restaurant and the
restaurant's chef: The patron is there for the chef's food,
therefore the patron is subject to the chef -- but the chef is there
to serve and please the patrons, therefore the chef is subject to
the patrons. If they're smart they realise its a symbiotic
relationship. More typically once they get into the dominance game
they'll try to enforce some vision of parasitism.
Now just replace "chef" above with "admin", and "patron" with
"player". Same problem. Same mechanics. Same outcomes. Ditto
when you substitute "husband" and "wife".
Which belongs to who?

Never forget the opportunity foir active abuse. These power players
are effectively ecological niches. Given a niche, *something* will
occupy it, guaranteed. Eg the dog who realises he can get free
meals from restaurants by lieing about the food and the assorted
objects he found in it (I know a chap who did this as a matter of
course whenever his dole cheque ran out). .

People love to create effects. You poke this button and the admins
jump. Woo hoo! Whee! Look at this! Anybody with small kids knows
this one all too well. Little Johnny knows just the right buttons
to push to get PaPa apoplectic and has a fine aesthetic sense for
the shades of red he achieves. cf Brian Green's tale of the players
who got the Meridian exec's ears -- once they were there, look how
they could make the executive strata of a major corporation dance to
their tune!
It becomes a (sad) game in itself.
The line between being responsive (and therefore keeping your
players willing to talk to you) and being reactive (and therefore
being a meta-game target for your players) is fine and ill defined.

Bingo. The admin is now a new game toy for the player. Puppets.

I wonder at the actual practiced mechanics of noblesse oblige a few
hundred years ago. If you, the noble, hold court and resolve
disputes for your peasantry, and thus act as the arbiter of final
resort, who ordered the queue of cases, and how did you prevent
abuse of the system?
