And yes, I agree as well that all we have at the moment is a suspicion without evidence (that's why I intend to ask in a very comradely way about it). I also want to make it clear that I'm not saying this gent is cheating (and would never do so publicly), I'm just saying the turn counter was going off and was there a club standard or whatever that had been worked out (and wanted to hear other member's experiences as well).

Larry:

The above is what I don't like about your "going public" with a current match without prior communication with your opponent. You post on the public forums that there are a number of game saves being registered and ask for feedback. Then you post that you have "suspicions without evidence" so even though you state in the next sentence that there would never be a public accusation of cheating from you (good!), you certainly have some suspicions and don't seem to have a problem going public with those? Again, without even informing your opponent? Or even asking him about the game saves?

Why not ask your opponent first? :chin:

IMO your going "public" is a breach of trust and exhibits disrespect for your current opponent. And that is why, IMO, there has been some sharp and blunt reaction to your thread?

And while we are on the subject of "vitriol" - IMO responses have been pretty civil based on the sensitive subject and the manner in which you presented the information.

Also, by publically "suspecting" and questioning an opponent's game behavior, you damage the integrity of the next few players who report a game against you. Player behavior and suspect game play should be handled privately with the Ladder Commander as per Club Rule #14 (Cheating).

Finally, poking fun at or dismissing others' opinions because they don't agree with your premise also does not further discussion? :chin:

Net: This was a thread that never should have been?
