Deception

I don't think hacking or actually killing the other player is a very constructive exercise for the game at all, since if you disable a player entirely, you can't exactly host the game if he can't send in his turn.

Why not? So he's stalling, which shouldn't be an issue if you have a regular hosting schedule or are playing it the pbem way.

What is an issue, however, is that you deprive yourself from the ultimate goal of playing games at all: The deep, personal satisfaction of being able to openly gloat at your opponent's defeat (or worse, to congratulate him on being a good sport and claiming "It's all a game and of no consequence" - so you beat him and it didn't even matter to you...).

While you can gloat openly about having been able to remove your opponent from the game (assuming a non-terminal solution), it is often unwise to do so due to the likely illegal nature of the removing...


Oh, and the poll allows multiple choices by each person, Talisien. That means there's more selected choices going around than people having voted.
