Quinns, could you either cancel these or count them as a win for my opponents (since it was me who left the scene), please.

I do have a copy somewhere.

But as time passed since we stopped playing that match, my curiousity got too strong....... so even though I have the copy, the match can't be reopened.

Hard to say who would have won, but I do think you had the upperhand.

Unless anyone objects, I'll just cancel your above noted matches, Hatschy. I'll wait awhile, though, to give time for objections.

Cancel 178.

I concede to TheBirdMan at 138. He is still too good for me

Which challenge match was this, Rickety? I can't find the number...

[ricketyclik]

I don't think it was ever numbered, having commenced under the reign of Keygen

198. TheBirdman def ricketyclik; Started Aug 2008; Finished Dec 2008; Turns 138

You've got to spam them cities -- fast. He hates that!

There has been some recent discussion about what is considered "cheating" in PBEM. I added a few primary examples to the opening post. I think most all of you know these already, but here they are...

... Excerpt from the Opening Post

Rule 4

4. There is no cheating or bug exploits allowed in CTP PBEM Challenges. Anyone caught cheating will be permanently banned from the CTP PBEM Challenge Ladder.

Cheating in PBEM includes (but is not limited to):
a) Opening any of your opponents turns before the game ends.
b) Replaying any turn.
c) Using the "rush buy - then switch queue" bug exploit.

[ricketyclik]

How about

d) Using the (somewhat greyish) improvement under city bug

?

[thehappies]

I think that has been outlawed--many people don't know about it.
