Default Re: What is abusive ?

I have to admit, this subject has made me very hesitant to wade into the multi-player arena here.

I'm one of those who feels that as long as it's in the game, and not proscribed ahead of time, then go for it. Of course I know there are exceptions (you find a bug in the code mid-stream), but as a rule I just play and take my lumps.

But when I read the multiplayer forum, I see people lobbing accusations of "cheating" for very innocuous things - someone breaks a non-agression pact, or some tricky tactic.
This makes me very nervous about joining games. I'm quite happy to get smashed under by the pros, but I don't want to have to keep abreast of everyone's take on game etiquette.

P.S. I think many people here would do well to play the board game "diplomacy" a few times. It builds character. :-)
