If I cheated, I didn't mean to....

Postby SpitJock » Sat Jul 14, 2012 7:16 pm

Hi all,

Just played a quick 1v1 against King Kong, and now I'm kinda unsure of myself. Is using default score mode (2pts for kill, -1 for Death, -2 for collateral, 0 for survivors) considered cheating?

If so, I apologise un-reservedly to King Kong. I didn't intend to dupe anybody. Sorry dude.


If it wasn't cheating - my second game ever (first 1v1) online, and I scored 149 to 53. You could have thrashed me, Kong. Especially after you killed half my navy and 3 quarters of my subs in the North Atlantic before they'd fired a shot - you had a clear advantage in numbers. Hitting my silos and airbases so hard might have been a good move if they hadn't already emptied their load across your population. If you'd fired on my cities instead you'd have hammered me.


And unfortunately, I entirely failed to make a recording. :( I don't expect to win often (if indeed, I won this time, rather than cheated, however accidentally). Perhaps when I learn to fight the naval battles better I'll have a better chance of winning. As it was, Kong went through my navy like yoghurt through a dog, and I really thought I was up shit creek.

Don't worry yourself too much about it.

Why would using default scoring be considered cheating? The setting can clearly be seen by any player, who can choose to play or not to play.

Just got concerned because Kong said "You Cheater" when he looked at the scores near end of game. It's not meant to be a source of argument or anything, so if you're reading this Kong please don't think I'm calling you out. I just wanted to check in case I'd unknowingly done something that's not in the spirit of the game.

Calling someone a cheater does not make them a cheater.
