I dont (know) what other word to use for taking full advantage of a broken game. . Sorry, just quoting the old post where Rhombus admitted that "cheat" is a harsh word but he simply didn't have alternative vocabulary to describe things. I subsequently replied with some alternative vocabulary.

Again, if this had been a more serious business matter, and you had publicly accused my real-life identity of cheating, I would seriously consider a slander suit, as my public reputation affects my business dealings in my line of work.

BUT, this is only a game, and ARO isn't connected with my real-life identity, so I've let it slide, though I'm still inclined to lecture on the seriousness of slander, since you haven't grasped its gravity, had this occurred in real life. I don't know which country or law you're under, but in most jurisdictions, slander suits can be pretty serious.

Maybe you're not familiar with society's workings, or with the law, but accusations like "cheater" are very serious and must be backed up with clear "tests" and a means for demonstrating that the accused has met those "tests" to be worthy of the "cheater" label.
