Recently I have been accused to have rigged an election. People don't realise how much GMs play the exact same game as everyone, but are enforcing the rules.
Whoa, discussing a cheating accusation on the forums? That's against the rules! Won't some GM punish you for abusing your authority?
;)
The whole thing is just a testament of the wonderful power of the human brain to believe whatever it wants to when someone doesn't want to blame himself.
