Here are a couple of posts by kreso and Fort explaining the definition of cheat trades.

This one is by Fort (previous moderator) http://galacticmag.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1561 Can be found as a sticky at the top of General discussion area.

This one by kreso http://galacticmag.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=80 (first post in this thread) Can be found at the top of this board.

As there seems to have been recent confusion around what is and is not a cheat trade, maybe reading the above will help define this.

Now if any players have any questions regarding these rules once they have read them, please post below.

THIS IS NOT A THREAD FOR ARGUING OR DEBATING THE CURRENT GUIDELINES

I have created this thread for players to ask questions if they do NOT understand the above information.

If this thread is turned into a debate thread, I will lock it immediately. This is not the place for it.

This is also just a temporary thread by me, in a hope to resolve some of the recent signs of conflict between players on the rules of trading.

Thank you.

God, how many times does this need to be explained to people? And it's the same old players who cant seem to grasp a simple concept. I wouldn't bother if i were you Trace.

Just make your judgment and leave it at that. If players want to argue, tell them to go moan to an air-conditioner. They might get a chance to hear how they sound.

Just put this in the same thread as Kreso's rules, which is made sticky to the very top of the cheat trade section, and cut out all the manga and other spam in that thread, please.

I have not seen your disputed thread, so taking it at face value, I would say it might need reconsideration. At the same time, ONE and ONLY time this rule was enforced was when i had made a appeal to kreso for review of one of my game. That was indeed a precedent set by him. However this rule got hell of opposition from the quite a chunk of gaming community and most of the mods are reluctant to use it, understandably though.

Trace-

I understand your logic, and don't want to change the direction of this thread from it intended purpose... But I do want to say about your last point about getting props cheaper- why would someone with 4800 or even 3600 and other sets upgraded NOT put a bid of 330 in for any of my multiple auctions? Remember I also auctioned blues and blacks, besides offering greens...


Just a thought.

[Bill2k06]

the ONLY reason people dont bid on someone's auctioned properties is because they see that , that player is in dire need of money and so they all just dont bid knowing that player will go out soon, unless alot of bonuses and other phenomina happen.

Everyone develops their own strategy, you may not understand their strategy and cant say they you know what they are trying to do. Saying that anyone "has" to trade or "has" to bid on an auction is not fair. Just as some (me included from time to time) try to get the others to go broke early so you can purchase certain props cheaper is a strategy just as not bidding and/or not trading can also be a strategy. Some get upset when someone opens a third on a set and doesnt bid. This can also be a strategy to get others to bid and use their funds. It is risky but also IMO is not cheating. Again anyone could come up with a strategy that no one understands but them. If you do not like how someone plays you make note of their id and try not to join games where they are involved.
