What does this mean?

[Hueij]

Let Jonny have his win, and give a point to con for providing us with a hilarious thread. Way to go con

Once can be let go. Only if something like it happens again do I think we need to take action.

Well I can't imagine it, but what if someone tops this? I agree though when it comes to ordinary cheating.

Do you REALLY think I would try this again? This was meant to be a joke and provide some side entertainment, look at my avatar, if I would have really wanted to "cheat" I would have covered my tracks and planned this a heck of a lot better. And I ceretainly would not have posted that hint to Ming and I certainly would not have had my kid do the post. There is at least a dozen people at this site I could have found to post for me if really cheating was my intent. Give me a break! PLEEEEEEEEEASE!

I have busted 4 cheaters over the past two years or so in CIV2 PBEMs before they basically died here at Apoly.

And there are tons of people in the CIV 3 forums who want to PBEM with me because Im reliable and dont cheat (and Im dam good at trash talking )

So for those of you who are taking this too seriously I truely feel sorry for you.

DrSpike, I have no issue with you! My earlier post was simply to point out that the natural order of things had been unfairly upset. Perhaps a genuine attempt at humour, but...

Eh? I said I empathised with your and Monk's arguments.

Feel free to take it up with Con.

Just making sure.

[Tuberski]

Jonny's win counts. He didn't cheat.

Con cheated but not outrageously so. If he had won there would be issues.

He's right that he could have got an anonymous poster to ask the question.

Give him a break........in one kneecap.



Now close the thread, I have spoken.

ACK!

I've thought a little more.

1) I disagree that just returning to the old guesses is unfair on those whose guesses have passed, because those guesses were too early for a true post stats thread.

However:

2) I agree that this thread has contaminated the competition so that it's hard to go back to the old guesses.

3) I agree that it would be hard on Jonny to go back to the original list.

That seems to suggest sticking with the current thread. I don't see any support for wiping it from history. I guess it's just too amusing.

4) I agree with Monk that overlooking cheating sets a bad precedent, and have to disagree with those that say once doesn't matter.

Yes it's just a silly game (I don't think anyone believes otherwise) but it is fun and those who cheat are just ruining the game for others.

So, we stick with the current thread. Scaeva cannot guess this round, a light punishment as he was 'influenced'. Con cannot guess indefinitely. Whilst I believe he had no intention of 'winning' I still actively want to discourage fixing.

Oy vey, that's a bit much. I can understand punishment as a deterrent, but indefinitely? It's not like he started a barroom brawl here.

Even scaeva's is a bit much, since he likely had no clue what he was doing and just did what his dad told him. I can't see any lighter punishment than that, unfortunately, so I guess it'll have to do.

I can agree with banning con, but not indefinitely. Maybe for 3 rounds.
