I seem to be a member of a game that I don't remember joining.  Is it possible that the GM added me?

I think it's possible, because I've been added to games in the past that I didn't request to join (the games were built after several users indicated interest in the game concept, so it's not like the GM just went and picked some people at random to bring into a game).  And I think, back when I first joined RPOL, the friend whose game I came here to join added me, because I certainly don't recall clicking any 'Request Access' links.

Of course, that was long enough ago that my memory can't be trusted for accuracy on that detail...

That is absolutely a doable thing. GM Menu -> Edit Players -> Add. From there you can add players either by RtJ or by searching for a username. Hope that helps you know what may have happened to you! :D

Unless an admin did it for some reason, yes, if you are in a game it is because the GM added you or I guess it's always possible there is a bug in the site.

I suggest you send a message to the GM if you are confused as to why you are in the game and if they don't know how you got into the game you might mention it to an admin.

Which never happens.  We do not add people to games under any circumstances.  Ever.
