PBW ethics, opinions please.

If you break those rules it is cheating.

Again, only if player X is caught.

No, if something is cheating, then it's cheating whether or not you get caught. Now that is not to say something is cheating jsut because one person or another says it is. But that is the reason for this topic to begin with.

I will tell everyone this, and please take me seriously. There are ways to cheat on PBW. But there is NO way to cheat that is 100% guaranteed of not getting caught. No matter how well you cover your tracks, you cannot get around the fact that all the game files are stored on the PBW server. I can, and have at times, gone through turn by turn and compared to see if it were possible to legally get form A to B.

The most you can do is make it very difficult for me to catch you. And a good rule of thumb is that the harder it is for me to catch you cheating, the harder I will come down on you when I do catch you. So if you want to continue playing on PBW, don't cheat.
