Actually i was responding to both of the guys. One was using language he should not have and yes the other is a threat. Actually believe it or not that threat alone is enough to have local law enforcement look into the issue.

Not saying I would do that but as a long time Systems Admin I have seen folks investigated by law enforcement for much less as far as threatening Online goes.

I know I risk the wrath of most of you but let me try to make a point in favour of cheating:
:]

Sometimes I like a game. But perhaps not enough to invest all my free time. So I'll miss some of its features. Like for example I play a scenario and after 100hours of play just befor I am to discover the technology I wanted to get to know to an enemy kills me off. That's when I LOVE savegameeditors, cheats, trainers ...

As for the problem of fairness in Online games - yes, it is a shame! But computers are powerful tools and crackers will always find their ways around protections. So by condemning trainers(and their like) you'll IMHO only create a false sense of safety. Do I have a solution? None but to proactively deal with the problem. e.g. Other Online communities have "clans" where each and every member has proved her fairness in many games...

Conclusio:
I'd really like to cheat myself.
=)

Use the built-in, disableable cheats then. Don't waste your time making ruining games with external cheats.

Does this guys trainer (or any trainer for that matter) actually work in a multiplayer game of SE4? If it doesn't, what's all the fuss about? For all we know Aaron already put a check similar to the one in Stars! in there to prevent this kind of thing.

Um Yes I didn't see any harsh language I was more jokingly responding and as I said the adress will most likly not be used perhaps you saw connitations where there were none, I hate to be a bother but I don't like being told off for something that in my eyes I didn't do.

Probally wasn't referring to you Sirkit, check the 2nd page, Pheir (sp) uses the F-word and some anatomical insults.
