Cheating or a grey area? [Not cheating]
Posted: Fri Feb 22, 2008 3:37 pmThis is my first time making one of these types of posts, as I just want a bit of a clarification about tactics and rules. Both the Unwritten rules and the Rule 1 mention the frowning upon of hijacking accounts or playing alts, but I'm not sure if this counts as either (or if it legal and just cheap).
The situation is this: I'm currently in a 6 player doubles match. It's down to myself, a member of a 2nd team, and 2 members on the 3rd team. The game has now been going on for a week now and has been quite a good one in my opinion. The matter at hand is that one of the players on the 3rd team mentioned in chat that he is going out of town for a few days and that his teammate will take his turns for him (the only way I could envision this is by logging into his account and physically cashing his cards and placing his armies). Since that post, "he" has made a turn. Now is this abuse, or what? My teammate didn't have internet access last week and was promptly eliminated due in part to his skipping his turn, if I had known I could have logged into his account and taken his turn, I certainly would have
.
It just seems like collusion to me. I understand the need for teammates to communicate and plan accordingly but this seems to be taking it a bit too far. I mean CC has a timer for a reason, and it does keep your armies for you if you miss a turn. Doing this seems to me to at least be a dirty tactic, if it's not against the rules of the game entirely. Some response on the matter would be greatly appreciated (in the meantime I'll refrain from taking my next turn).
Subject line: Cheating? Collusion?
These are suspected Multis/ I'm not quite sure what it is.

Comments: I think my above comments suffice to sum up the situation.
