I think party should ban the use of the automated note taking too. It's cheating to take all your observations and make them nice and accessible right on the players!

They also should ban the chat so that no two players can ever compare notes either. That's data gathering.

In fact, you shouldn't even be able to get a hand summary because you could look at it after the fact and unfairly pick up some clues on the player's habits.

Everything you do should be hand scribbled notes on college ruled paper you keep at your computer. #2 pencils only, since we require a level playing field.
