I dont see how it is cheating. Exploitive yes. There have been many instances where players discovered something that gave an edge until it was generally known. RCP for example.
a) there is no rule against it and Ainwood has said he doesnt intend to outlaw it. b) you can get a longer not shorter period of anarchy so there is an element of risk involved. I agree that the length of anarchy is a pain. At present it is related to the number of cities you have. It is not entirely random.

Indeed Ribannah we have already seen in this thread that you use the word "lie" at will and with no restriction whatsoever, now we can see that that you also have trouble understanding the meaning of "cheat".
That could explain a lot indeed

We, the players, are the judge of what constitutes cheating and what doesn't. Then when we say the tournament allows cheating, we decide whether we still want to play. In fact, there are games where cheating is an important part of gameplay, like Cluedo. I don't want Civ to be such a game, however. It's not designed to be one and it takes all the fun away. When I read that even the SirPlebs feel that they have to use every available exploit to stay competitive, that makes me very sad. Quote:

Why not set up a MP game with Ribannah and see if she's really that good?
I hereby challenge her edited |

MP is another game entirely. I have never played it, so I'll probably suck hopelessly, if only because I have a short attention span.

I find it rather amusing though, that you of all people are now calling other people cheaters....

Cruise didn't say PBEM. That should indeed be possible for me, I may try it some time (but not now! I have too much on my hands already!)
