MP Cheaters/Griefers

[vfb]

I've heard of other players having problems when they forgot to password their pretender. So, it's best not to forget. Though I still forget sometimes too . catgod is nice if you forget, since it makes it easy to create the same build. If the game hasn't done the first turn yet, you can reselect your nation and upload your newly passworded pretended, replacing the unpassworded one.

It does happen very rarely. Always password protect your pretender.

[Sombre]

But if you do include a password, make sure it isn't too long, or anyone who subs for you will be driven insane by it.

Its happened to me in 1 game out of about 20+, someone changed my orders (twice) after I had issued them, so its not common but it does happen. Ever since then I always password protect my god.

Some people will go to any lengths to win a game, sad but true.

Guys, it is unlikely that a player in the game you're in will change your orders.
Unless he has two legal copies, he risks messing up his turn, and it will be easy
for the host to tell who did it.

On the other hand, unless you protect your pretender, you will never know whether
someone is not _looking_ at your empire every turn.

I think (and hope) this is a rare event. I usually forget to use a password. I haven't been cheated on to my knowledge.

On the other hand I have accidentally opened another player's turn and looked at it when I played in more than one game and got nations mixed up. It doesn't feel good to accidentally come over information you should not have.

Is it possible that another player accidentally entered your turn, and chose redo turn from start, with the intention of redoing his own turn? That way he could have messed up your turn without intending to be a prick and afterwards realized that he had done something stupid, felt ashamed, and hoped that you would redo your turn so no one noticed his mistake.

Kristoffer... do you have something to confess?

Seriously though, I've played quite a few games online over the years and I'd have to say that the dominions community has the least cheaters and griefers I've ever seen

I hope you're right, but he'd have to know that it wasn't his correct game/country if his intent was to redo his OWN turn.
