Default Re: PBW ethics, opinions please.

DarkHorse, The "Nuts and Bolts vs Spirit of the Game", Reminds me of the "Letter of the Law vs the Spirit of the Law" debates.
There are times I support "Letter" and times I support "Spirit".
In SEIV terms I guess it means checking with the Game Master / host. There is a drawback to checking with the Host if they are playing. It may reveal a clever tactic / strategy that is not found to be unacceptable. Now you have shown your hand. An example would be when I "accidentaly on purpose" sent misinformaiton to my adversary.

Jay walking is against the law. I do it at 6:30 AM because there is no danger to myself or others. That law is to protect not only me but drivers who could get hurt swerving to avoid me. I don't do it at 8:30 AM on a work day morning because it would likely cause an accident, (and get me injured in the process).
(hope that is a good metaphor / analgy)
