    I was obtaining your base coordinates by looking at the gotos on your transports. It gave me the coordinates of where your bases were.

      mental note: do not use gotos anymore in a PBEM...

        Yeah I know

        The trick I picked up was "shift move". Press shift then the movement keys. Ofcourse after it became obvious that people were finding bases using other methods I gave up on that.

          Yuck.

          Those aren't really strategies IMHO... just have to be watchful from now on, that's for sure.

            Yeah I know it isn't a strategy, it was an exploit.

              Unfortunately, there are too many ways to locate the base in dark.

                What is truely unfortunete, was that there are too many people who are fond of using those exploits.

                  hear hear. Although I must say that first time I heard of this exploit I actively used it in a private game. Now :shrug: it isn't worth the time and effort.

                    When I first started I didn't have SMAX. I opened several turns of ACDG in word. I also tried the resigning trick in a SP game just to see how it is like. Now I just can't understand why people still like to spoil the fun of expecting and searching in the unknown.
