PGA!

And since you created your own thread now, I will post it here, too:

My dear Debwa, since you are so clever, you also might want to explain to me how you can distinguish a a truce from a PGA (=cheating).

Are you just too naive or simply not creative enough to think of possibilities to make a PGA (=cheating) look like a truce?



Example (1):
Two players are in a PGA, they talk on MSN or whatever IM and decide to cooperate. So they sit in at the same table. First they don't attack each other and bring themselves in a good position. Suddenly, in round three or so they declare a truce... as players always do.
player one: yellow?
player two(pretending to not knowing what's going on): huh?
player one: are we cool?
player two: I think so.
player one: truce then?
player two: yes.

Now, you tell me how all the other players at the table can know that this is a PGA(=cheating)... And please, do give me an answer to that, because people here tend to ignore the arguments they cannot answer easily.




Example (2):
Two players play at the same table and start a conversation in the chatbox. They become friends and from now on it is understood between them that they don't attack each other in the future - they are in a permanent truce. Fair enough, but is that not also some sort of PGA?
And even more interestingly: What can other players do against that "permanent truce" apart from flagging?



And and btw: How is it possible to "having fun!!!" with people who are always cheating?

well spoken rant.

The bulk of moondusts issues I explained in the other forum. This forum, however, I would like to address the "How is it possible to "having fun!!!" with people who are always cheating?" bit.

First of all, ask the, oh, i dont know, 2 thousand players on kdice that are enjoying themselves and do not cheat. Second of all, am i really to believe that the very small percentage of people that cheat on this game are enough of a reason that kdice is no longer fun? I'm sure i've run across my share of PGAs but I still have a great time. If it is really so awful playing the game with "all those cheaters" i suggest you quit. I hear dicewars doesn't have any PGAs these days.

Personally, I find that all the people yelling, cussing, arguing, and trowing tantrums make the game less fun... not the PGAs, but that's just me.

Im a whiner...im sorry it's because im the youngest of my siblings...but I always say...if you all would do the right thing...I'd have no reason to whine...

you aren't a whiner johnson. what you do isn't the same.... though occasionally it is :). But mostly it isn't.

and me ? :)

you are perfect just the way you are Upmax ;)

I think for 1 bad or unfair played game u will loose 10 other, because the people remember u (especially on higher tables).

A problem on higher tables might be, that there are 'networks of sympathy', just because u have played some games with them and u either like their style or not. U never will really smash someones game u like.

I agree desh... but what's your point? how does this relate to the topic at hand?
