Default Re: Short list and exploits

In fact it's a totally ridiculous exploit : the victim will just send back the 50 slave collars, and it's the bad guy who will be unable to forge the next turn (may end in ping pong).

Quote:
An exploit should be defined as an action that keeps an enemy from playing the game.
Wiki says :
"In the realm of online games, an exploit is usually a software bug, hack or bot that contributes to the user's prosperity in a manner not intended by the developers."

A bug does not work as intended. Definition of a bug :
"A software bug (or just bug) is an error, flaw, mistake, undocumented feature, failure, or fault in a computer program that prevents it from behaving as intended (e.g., producing an incorrect result)."

Therefore, using that combo is an exploit. Not much more to be said, unless you wish to recreate the meaning of the english words.

I could care less what "wiki" says. If both players have access to it and it is not game stopping, what separates it from a game feature? Only your opinion.

P.S. Tuidjy I didn't realize you were in a game where this is such a heated topic. Next time you will do better to take your anger out on the person in your game instead of me, because when it comes to your insults, I am the CEO of IDGAF.
