In Risk, iteration will cause the player who always rolls 4-6 on all their dice to lose, because everyone will think they're an annoying cheater.

Doesn't make it not cheating to use dice which only have 4-6 written twice.

If you're playing a different game to the one people agreed to play, even if the game you're playing can be considered as metagame balanced, you're cheating.
