I think that the MC's generally assumed to do more fictionalizing, since they are the ones who are to make fronts and all that stuff, but one of the principles is basically going, "I 'unno - Player X, what's the answer on that one?"<br/><br/>If Thufir Hawat has no objections to that, it's fine with me - my embellishment is that Thumbs has a small gang, because he's small time. Small time operator, small time gang.
