    (D&D game between lawyer students might get interesting)

    No, no it's not.  Or maybe it is in the Chinese meaning of interesting.

    However once I explained that I can and will use rule zero ("The DM is always right") and that it was, literally impossible for me to "cheat", the games got much better.

    depending on how the sentience/sapience is designed/taught and what kind of game it is, I think it could make for a good game.

    As a game designer for table top games that explicitly have a human referee / Game Master, I'm just going to say that have player rules lawyers is bad enough, much less with the game it self being in the loop.

    Mice may find bedding material even more desirable than food.  When the restaurant closed next door and their mice tried to move in to the hospital, we used a live trap with one-way doors, positioned along a wall under some furniture where the mice tend to travel, and baited it with not just peanut butter but also some nice frayed-apart wool yarn pieces and cotton cloth shreds.  Just don't forget to either check the trap several times a day, or put a teeny dish of water in there (eg filling a bottle cap with water) and keep it filled so they don't die of dehydration before you can get around to taking them somewhere far enough away to release.

    Or, you know, attach the bedding to the trigger of the snapper trap, as you prefer.  Just be prepared to put them out of their misery quickly if instead of breaking their neck it just traps and mutilates a foot or tail.

    After seening the little guy run over the trap, I gave upon them.  I'm really not a trap person.

    Understood.

    The damn mouse just ran over a trap.  It didn't go off.  The peanut butter is missing from one also.  I suspect that the mechanical traps are not going to be the fix, but having a cat in the house is.  Even if she doesn't get it, most mice will leave a house with cats, or that is the theory.

    Rat poison works wonders. Had to use it when I lived out in Kyle, TX (halfway between Austin and San Marcos - very rural, double-wide trailer country).

    I have at least one mouse

    ...

    In a couple of weeks I'm going to be cat sitting (sorta, the cat is coming here) my brother's cat while they paint the house.  Suzi is known to be a mouser, so that should solve that.   Going to get a set of glue traps anyway.

    Cat is at least 2 weeks away so I've got a set of traps set.  Sucker is getting bold.
