(*^(*^ or some other combo is my way of swearing.


Now I have a question. I have to hide it in here because it is a question of ethics and it is about PBEM ethics ( and the person does come to this site every once in a while but only reads pure game Posts )

Now in the PBEM game 3 humans, 9 computer players 12 clusters 1 cluster each. ( designed map. where the humans start in each cornor and there is only one way out of each cluster to the middle cluster and all the middle clusters are connected with each other plus connected to the cluster above and below ( make sence ??)))
Any way it is a designed map.

I am in the top cornor and another human is in the opposite cornor.

At this current time in the game I have a higher level of cloaking than this other pbem player has in scanners. So I was scouting out the cluster below me ( to invade ) and what do I see but the player from far away has moved in and parked a huge fleet in this cluster below me ( 1 3rd of all there ships from what there saying or 100 ships ) Now we have not met yet in the game. But this fleet is just sitting there. This is in the system that links to his area of the map. While he is fighting a war in the cluster above him. This fleet does not move, it just gets ships sent to it to make it stronger.

I think this fleet is waiting in ambush for me. But in the game the player does not know I exist. So technically they should not be doing that.

Now I think that if this is what the player is doing then it is out of context of the game and cheating.

What do you think???
