Authordilemma: innovative people or cheaters
Hi everyone!

I have a big dilemma how to call such people...

The first case:

- fight description: no arts
- initiator: dartwador4[5]
- war id: https://www.lordswm.com/warlog.php?lt=-1&warid=5119717

At the first glance, nothing wrong with that fight excepting the left-hand players had a "little" bit of character enhancement for their levels. But is it their fault? No! The initiator had "only" "Amulet of luck" (luck +1) and "Hunter shirt" (initiative +1%). The small enhancements couldn't be easily seen during the battle, so, what the hack?, "i made a mistake" (in the description).

Nice mistake you made, dartwador4! I am sorry for you that it didn't work.

The second case:

*** personal info snippet from aaaaaie ***

i'm a fun person i think?? well this is my main character 1st. aaaaaie {2nd blackiee} >> //3rd quima

*** end of snippet ***

*** transfer log snippet ***

10-25-08 00:26: Acquired item: "Ring of inspiration" [16/18] for 4500 gold from quima as lot #122413
...
10-19-08 09:41: Sold: 3 Mercury for 900 gold to blackiee as lot #115136. Commission: 9
...
10-15-08 06:19: Sold item: "Amulet of luck" [23/25] for 1500 gold to blackiee as lot #110671. Commission: 15
... (and few more like those)

*** end of snippet ***

Yes, aaaaaie, you are funny with your math. Hope you are not an accontant in your real life!


So, now, respectful people from this game, please, help me how to call these players. I am in such a "big" dilemma...

(this post is for people to help me in finding an answer for the question: how fair should I play? no offence intended to the characters above mentioned. I am not responsible for the answers or reactions of the topic contributors, but only for my posts)
He has broken this rule

3.11. Any transfers, (including those through the market or through a third party), combats (including those with other players involved) and "Two Towers" games between multiple characters of one person are prohibited. If you register an additional character, you are bound to show that to Administration in the opening line of the "character information" of both, commenting who is the main character and who is the additional one. Just the line "I've got another character" or "This is an additional character" is not enough, indication of nicknames is obligatory. Such line should clearly state who is the main character, and who is the extra one. Additional characters who aren't signed will be blocked without any warning!
Yes, I know that. I am wondering if the player knows... ? (rhetorical question) I suppose he will find out soon from here. So, nothing innovative, just trying to cheat. Thanks for your answer, DarkAssault!
Yeah, but they paid each other character fairly.
If I pay 2000 gold for a hunter shirt on the market, and pay 2000 gold for a hunter shirt from another of my own character, there's no difference. What's wrong about that?
Also, if you wear arts in a no arts game, people can check your character (by clicking the name in the battle). It's not illegal to do that in the rules, and you should always check the person starting the battle. If they break the rules, you should be able to to. They can't annoy you for doing it, or they'd be a hypocrite.
Wait. Ignore the first part. The person paid his other character cheaply. So I guess it is against the rules, but you don't know. Maybe, someone sold an amulet of luck for 1500 on the market. I doubt it, but maybe.
for Anyone:

Hmmm.... Fair enough! 900 gp divided by 3 pieces is 300 gp/piece. Acquisition price for one mercury: 369 gp/piece. 3 times 69 equals 207. Subtracting 9 from 207 is 198. So, 198 gp fairness, isn't it? Also, "Amulet of luck" is 2,920 gp/piece[25/25]. Almost half the price for 2 battles less is not a bad deal. Where can I find such a bargain?

Thanks for your answer, Anyone! So, no cheat hear, but innovative.

PS: Cheating is not illegal in many cases ("the thief which is not caught is a honest merchant" - old saying).
Keep only the PS from my previous post, Anyone. Thanks again for your contribution!
But the point is

Any transfers, (including those through the market or through a third party), combats (including those with other players involved) and "Two Towers" games between multiple characters of one person are prohibited.

The key part above being 'including through the market'...
Thanks, Zyanya, for your point.
OK! Since nobody has anything to say more about, I consider the topic closed.

All the best and thank you all for your posts!
