Default Is this cheating?

Hi!
I was sitting in front of SEIV, planning a new turn for a game hostet by seiv-pbw.
And suddenly I thought about the following question:
"Is playing more than one race in a seiv-game cheating?"

Yes. Wihtout question it's cheating. Why do you even have to ask? Is there seriously anyone with the mental capacity to find the power button on their computer that doesn't know this is cheating?

And it's also impossible to do on PBW without having more than one login, which itself is against the rules and you will run the risk of having your accounts deleted if you are doing it.

It is certainly cheating, and suitable only for testing mods, AIs and shipsets.

It is definitely cheating EXCEPT ...

... in a game specifically and inentionally set up for such purposes, or, in a team game where teammates are allowed to take over for each other, if one should need to drop out.

Remember folks, SOME scenarios might involve a SPECIFIC setup that would allow for such a situation and NOT involve cheating!

It's not cheating if you are the GM in an RPG game.
