Kits?

[PoorOldSpike]

I do not believe that using the "kits" etc. for ways to get a leg up on ones opponent is a rampant problem...

Right, it may not be 'rampant', but there are still a minority of players out there who'll do everything to give themselves an edge; it's not exactly cheating but is still not nice to see, I could tell you stories of what they've tried to pull on me..;)
The safeguard is simple enough, never begin a game with anybody without going through the parameters with a magnifying glass and a team of lawyers beforehand to make sure you like and understand them, because once you begin a game it's too late then as you'll have zilch excuse for being hung out to dry..[/i]
