Cheating in TOAW III: Policy Announcement

[Currahee]

There has been discussion of this before; see thread, "Anti-cheat features in TOAW III".

After additional playtesting, I can see no reason to question the accuracy of the anti-cheat warnings, and in particular, the notice of multiple reloads. Replaying of moves is prohibited by Rule 14 of the Rules of Engagement, and that's exactly what this is. Henceforth, those multiple reload messages will be taken as an indication of cheating, and if they are repeated, after an initial warning from your opponent, will cause you to forfeit the game.

I am sorry that this is necessary, but I am not sorry that we outlaw cheating; it is extremely harmful to our gaming community. TOAW III has been painstakingly developed to make these practices discoverable and therefore, obsolete. Quit cheating, or move to a different ladder.
