If a manager actually assaults a player, that counts as the penalty and then the GM's job is to restore equilibrium. Heh.
George, Billy and Reggie were a special case as y'know, like Marge-In-Charge was.
George didn't back Billy and Billy didn't need backing...
But yeah. It's not unprecedented for there to be a rumble and the GM to choose to simply settle dust, if the manager has already made his point effectively enough.
Will firmly insist that this specific case is a clear example of hanging the mgr out, tho...
