Default Re: Revenge of Pimping - Let's go Voltron Force!

Failing to honor an NAP is *not* cheating. It's dishonorable but within the rules, absolutely.

Looking at another player's turn w/out permission *is* cheating. The server records (with a timestamp) whenever someone connects. I can match that up with connection logs but it's a major pain. Generally speaking, there has been only one download of each turn per turn cycle, so if someone has been spying on turns, it certainly hasn't been widespread.

That said, if I'd been more on the ball when the game started, I would've reminded people to set passwords - the start of the game was delayed to a very inconvenient time for me, and I uploaded the wrong pretender file myself. There wasn't much interest in trying to restart.
