Taking advantage of a stupid AI is also gamey, IE trading an unvisited system for a homeworld. The gamey part is in the thought of even attempting this, not in the fact the AI was stupid enough to agree to it.

Those that think it is not gamey, are of the same class of people that think nothing is a crime if you don't get caught.

GOZRA: I resent being lumped in with the "same class of people" That trade seems interesting to say the least. A fully developed homeworld for an entire system? I might make that trade with a human.

All I say to that, is know who your entering into a MP game with. If you accept a game challange from people that feel anything goes, then don't complain later that they lived up to their reputation. or, try and be more cheezy than they are. Hacking game files is blantant cheating, and if done will suceed in noone playing a game with you again. I am talking about questionable tactics, not outright cheating.

GOZRA: I will award the 20 galtic credits to you if you can get 3 others to agree that trading with the AI is Gamey.

send the credits to realpissed_2000@yahoo.com. thank you.
