How is cheating possible?

[The Panther]

*if* there is cheating going on then it is best to have the methods in the open thus everyone knows what can happen and they look for evidence. Further it stimulates patches.

Although *if* there is cheating *and* it is caused by most of the checking being done by the UI and not by the server then that could mean a lot of work for IW.

I must wonder, are you Norfleet under an alias? I mean, *if* there is cheating? I know you read the other post about cheating because you replied in there. I am sure that you therfore must have read the post from Kris about all the stuff Norfleet had in that game by turn 23. Even if you totally ignore Storm because of supposed sour grapes, you still cannot discount Kris. 18 hammers? 46 dusk elders in addition to many more summoned commanders? Two queen of airs? 35 clams? Wow, even. That is not even remotely feasible.

Come on, Huzurdaddi, *if* he was cheating? Of course he was! It looks to me like, on average per turn, he *gave* himself some 200 gems of mixed types and at least 500 gold above what he leagally earned.

That is cheating in my book, no matter how he acomplished it. He even mostly admitted to it in those Last two puzzling Posts before he claimed he was gone forever.
