You are so busy talking in circles, you don't realize that you are making exactly the point for why we played. As you say and know, this game is full of uncertainty and changing rules, often in mid-episode. We played the game they gave us, that is not cheating in any way, shape or form. Read my post after that. If something is fishy, you can ask questions first before acting. Playing during that time having not asked any questions when it was clear something was not quite right is suspect. Sure you don't know for sure, that doesn't make it right. You can ask.

I am not making the point at all, I am saying in that case you have another choice, one which no one exercised because they were the ones gaining and so they did not want to ruin the gravy train. If you think I am making your point then you don't understand my argument, I am saying you have a second course of action available to you, playing is not the only option, which is what people seem to be claiming. That doesn't really surprise me, everyone here thinks it is not cheating and I don't expect I will change anyone's mind.

And in fact, if you ask Mobage a question and they say 'yup that is the way the algorithm is supposed to work', then you know for sure, and you can continue to do your thing knowing you are not taking advantage of anything.

If someone loses their wallet on the street, do you return it or just say 'well I am just doing my thing, I did not break any laws to obtain this wallet, therefore it is mine".

Lame...
