Cheating in TOAW III: Policy Announcement

[clambot]

I just wanted to chime in that I can vouch that Heinrici is totally above-board, as are all my opps, and I might suggest that players who may be concerned about the TOAW3 messages of reloads discuss it diplomatically before jumping to possibly wrong conclusions.

I'd wager that 99% are just instances of opening a move and saving for later as time permits. I'd also wager that the vast majority of us here can't always devote the time a move takes, and honestly save to re-open just as a matter of we play when we can.

Ideally, I think more detailed "re-opened" messages would go a long way to allaying fears of dishonesty.....something along the lines of, "Your opponent reloaded the game one time before moving units" or, "Your opponent reloaded the game 2 times: (1) before moving units, (2) save and reload detected after resolving combats, units moved again following combats" or something like that. Of course that's a beer dream :-)

Of course, if I received the msg "your opp reloaded the game 17 times" then I might raise an eyebrow.....but, my philosophy is, if someone wishes to do that (indeed, if someone NEEDED to do that against humble me to gain an advantage) I personally would regard it as a complement to my gaming skillz, and welcome the additional challenge to winning.

Just my two pfennigs.

Cheers!
