The spirit of the game...

[Kelen]

Is this thread about the spirit of the game or cheating?

I think there's a huge difference in the two.

Well that's the problem, we may think there is a difference, but under the rules, as per the original post,

"The Blitz considers any 'stunt/method' that goes beyond the spirit of the game to be cheating..."

So regardless of what 'we' think, they are treated the same should someone choose to complain.

The question is however, if, (as it appears from those that have posted), we don't consider that there is such thing as 'gamey' play that, "goes beyond the spirit of the game", and everyone will just choice to play those of a similar view, why do we have this rule?

That's why I was interested on whether the mods had any views on this. Should we encounter gamey tactics, opportunism, or things that 'we' consider goes the spirit of the game, most of us will probably take it on the chin and then have to decide whether to play that person again; but if soemone does complain, as there is a rule that says they can, what would the mods consider comes under this? If nothing does, then why have the rule?
