So I get one of my friends to join the site, make a bunch of games where s/he joins (and others too, if I want), then I tell him/her exactly which moves to make (all for academic purposes, of course). Then I haven't violated the rules of the site, haven't violated the rules of the game (provided, of course, that this isn't prohibited in the game rules), and have only engaged in "strategy" or "diplomacy". So that's okay? (A bit extreme, mind you...)


Ummm, this isn't even close to what we did. We just decided to avoid attacking each other. There is NO rule that says you must attack every opponent, and none that says you can't choose to avoid attacking one altogether. I didn't tell Thyrza what to play, and she didn't tell me what to play.


Hmmm, where did I say that's what you did? <looks> Nope, didn't think so.
But the defensive answer was a neat way of avoiding answering the hypothetical question I posed. Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

Maybe what we should really be arguing about is this rule for playing on SpielbyWeb. Wink

* You must treat your fellow gamers politely.


Yes, come to think of it. The people who are calling us cheaters are not following that rule. There is nothing impolite about not attacking each other and choosing to attack the remaining player(s). As a matter of fact, his messages to us were a bit impolite. Just because you don't like how someone plays doesn't give you the right to be rude to them.


Should the word "cheating" be replaced by "unsporting conduct"? Maybe this is the real argument being made here.
