Post subject:  An Official Notice About Cheating and Copyright

CHEATING

Our Club has a long history of sportsmanship and integrity when it comes to the games we play. Our Code of Conduct and Honor is the bedrock of our existence and is all that stands between us being a fun and competitive club – and one where a few cheaters may dominate and discourage the many. This notice is aimed at those few.

Recently we have expanded our capability to identify those that circumvent the rules and cheat to attain favorable results.
We now are able to review each turn sent to us, without any fog of war, which will show us a player’s every move across the map. Further, we have the ability to calculate the probability of outcomes which are nearly mathematically impossible to achieve in the absence of cheating.

Remember:
1) Don't replay your moves.
2) Don't replay your fire combat or melees.
3) Don't try to break into the game files.

Everyone in this club pays a price when someone cheats and gets away with it. Some lose a playing buddy. Others lose respect by association. Some lose their confidence in the other side of the club. Others leave the Club because they can’t win a game. Lastly, we all lose some of our trusting nature.

To catch those that do not heed this message we ask that you contact your Army Commander or Cabinet Representatives when you believe cheating has occurred. The best method to catch offenders is to carefully watch game replays and look for abnormal results. We will investigate such claims and judge each case fairly and confidentially. Those found guilty may be expelled from the Club under the provisions of Club Rule 2.3.3.

Other possible penalties may include (but not be restricted to):
1) Losing all of your accumulated points to date.
2) Having your rank reduced back to 2nd Lieutenant.
3) Having to make a public apology in the Mason Dixon Tavern to maintain membership.
