RAH Rules: The Continuing Evolution

[rah]

Due to the discussion in

http://apolyton.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=73726

I propose that we include the unsinkable boad/plane as NOT allowed. If anyone want to defend the other side of this one, please feel free.

I agree... that's a real old cheat, and I don't think anybody defended it's use in the past when it was first discovered.

[Flatlander Fox]

Jeez, and that's how I've been winning all of our games.

If people need to be instructed on this, then they have issues.

But you never know I guess...

A clear cheat.......however one you must be bound by honour on. Spartan says in the other thread he knows this cheat happened in his game......it must have been a long one cos this cheat is very hard to spot.

Yes, it seems obvious, but I like getting it listed so there can be no doubt out it. I don't need people saying, "it wasn't specifically mentioned, so I though it was ok". Now granted everything isn't listed, but when anyone brings it up in these forums, I like to have it added.

Based on the intitial response, please add it to the list when you get a chance CW. Thanks.

you're welcome, though if i'd gotten the two week vacation i'd wanted instead of the one week i was given, i'd have been a tad slower

/me grumbles about work, and the people that have been mucking around in his office and messing **** up

links updated to reflect SGs' Hut finder v1.3 and the current setting up ip games thread (seems like there's a new one every week )

[War4ever]

I'm actually surprised that someone didn't defend it.

Yes me too. Thinking about it, is this much more dishonourable than black map clicking, or scouting using bugs, or many other gameplay elements that make no sense?

I think the trireme thing is a cheat, as I said, but then, I don't really like the other things I mentioned either. However, I do them because they are generally accepted as part of the game. Of course to a certain extent it doesn't really matter what is 'part of the game' as long as everyone agrees, which is why the RAH rules is useful. I'd ban it if you can, but it's hard to spot, like the other things that have become accepted over the years.

yes but in "our" group, we dont' need to look for it....thats the beauty of this group, there is no "i wont do it again i promise bs" that can be found in other playing circles

so what is agreed upon, is 100% trustworthy makes the game more enjoyable that way....

[rah]

Amen, if we have newbies in our group that we can't control, so be it. I can honestly say that I trust all the regulars 100%.
