I think this is a little unfair to Graeme. I read the thread from the first post forward. It's pretty clear that Norfleet knew that he was not wanted (or at least should have known based on the other threads he's participated in, where he was told he was not wanted). Then, like a pretentious smart ***, he tried to take a side in Graeme's game. I was expecting a big blow out fight, but in fact, all Graeme did was ignore Norfleet, setting up a nation list that did not include him. It was only after Graeme was specifically called out that he gave his reasoning; he did not want to play with a cheater.

I'm actually suprised at Graeme's restraint, and think he handled it pretty well. If you want him to lie as to why he does not want to play with Norfleet when he is asked, that's your concern.

I agree that "cheating" in a game context implies breaking the rules or abusing the computer program or data. Something along those lines.

I can understand not wanting players to take diplomatic deception to extremes that extend to multiple identities, chat and email and out-of-character deceptions, I think "cheating" implies something else (unless the game had explicit rules against such things).

Can we all just admit that everyone has valid and differing opinions on this subject, and thus prevent the hijacking of yet another thread?

While I chose to dive in quoting a post by Graeme it doesn't mean that I dislike him & want to engage in a flame fest with him, much the contrary, I actually have a good opinion on the guy.

But that opinion has been lessened by seeing him joining in this 'holier than thou' crussade of insulting Norfleet every now and then.

You are reading too much. I do not want him to lie, I would have said nothing if he simply had stated 'I do not like you & thus do not want you in my game'.

But I am tired of seeing posters calling Norfleet names which are totally undeserved with the info we have at hand. Graeme is not the only one who has done this, but kind of resurected it.

I'm afraid that somebody just beat you to Marignon, so you're out of luck for this game. I could add a twelfth player, but the map would start to be quite crowded at that point.

I believe being Graeme the game creator, he can choose who can join his game, and who cannot ...

I don't look at reasons or not, he created, he did the rules.
We can choose if to play or not with those rules ... if we're allowed to join this game.

There're many other games where we can join too.
