"HONESTY, IT WAS ONLY A LOAN" :
So let me understand what you are saying here kotj?
Although I don’t use mb, nor do I “match fix” but I don’t think it’s cheating, I’m classed as a “gamer”.
But on the other hand, I was brought up on rugby my whole life being from west wales, I’m a current rugby player (towards the end I have to say!!), I go and watch Welsh international games on a regular basis and also watch any live games of rugby on sky that I can, I would clearly say I am a huge “rugby person”.
So I don’t fall in to either of your categories?
The difference is I can differentiate between my real rugby life and this computer game.
You responded to your question yourself...
“The difference is I can differentiate between my real rugby life and this computer game.” (And I already said I can too.. that s why I respect both views).
So, yes, here you are a gamer. (Why does it sound bad for you? It s not an insult.. You have no problem here to go against the rugby spirit.. right?).
Would you really qualify yourself in this game as a Rugby player who is looking to play a rugby game with the Rugby spirit, or as a player who wants to find a way to win?
I really want to understand how we can consider match fixing as “not cheating” in the Rugby spirit.. or any other environment but gaming...
It goes against all values..
You know what is the definition of cheating, right? “act dishonestly or unfairly in order to gain an advantage”...
Explain me how match fixing is fair against the other players (as you know many of them don’t do it...) and how it doesn't give an advantage (either not use the cash for a MB or agree on a draw to get the points).. pure definition of cheating..
And then let me ask you one question: (I already asked Black M... but he wasn’t able to respond)
What would happen now if everybody was using match fixing.. all games in championships/tournaments/GCs would finish in a draw...
Exciting game, isn t it?
Doesn’t it give you a hint that maybe this is somehing not really “honest”...
Because on the other side I can really tell you that if you don’t do match fixing and don’t use MBs, the best strat/strongest team wins (which sounds a bit more honest..)
So just explain me how it is not cheating... (I guess because it s not on the website.. I would say ok.. but then it s logic to say that you re a gamer here, no?.. because you re playing with Sweet Nitro/documented rules to play the game, not the rugby rules/spirit.. Many players here haven t read this games’ rules, as they thought it was the rugby rules..
If you find a way in this game to make a forward-pass that guarantee you a try.. you would be happy... How then you don’t qualify as gamer? (And again, it s not a pejorative word)
