Now that depends entirely on the players, some can cooperate to acheive goals, and some are such utter buttheads that the GM is left with little choice to but work with the more responsible player during character generation in order to insure that the game doesn't dissolve into he said/he said arguements...and all too many times it still does.
For me, the chief advantage of face-to-face gaming is that I can see the people playing and gauge in advance..PBEM on the other hand...you can find some "winners" out there and no, that is not meant in a nice way!
