Stardust: To have a shill make moves in my pond is not cheating. Period. If you say somebody's cheating, you also have to say who is cheated. NOBODY's being cheated in this game as everybody KNOW (or can know) what's going on. Period. None of the players involved have complained about this fact so far. Contrariwise, many of them signed up BECAUSE of it. Period. Moreoover, you say that to have a shill make moves in a game is cheating. Then, several sentences further in your post, you say that the best thing would have been if EdTice had not said anyone he was going to use his spreadsheet. I don't understand the way you think. It would not be cheating if he used a computer and didn't tell anyone but it is cheating when everybody have access to this information? I don't get it. And another PERIOD.
