Re: Throwing the game.

Actually, no. This is not part of the game. This is meta-gaming. It is some
idiot being deliberately disruptive because he thinks he's in a better
position to determine whether 2 powers are duplicates or in collusion than
the moderator. The GM was a little naive to make the blanket statement he
did, but entering dummy orders in in a NoNMR game is obvious poor
sportsmanship. It's petty, vindictive and there's no reason to allow it.

The last time this happened in a game I moderated was 18 months ago. The
players being accused of cheating had an extensive press history that
revealed they profiled the accuser's playing style, predicted his strategy
and negotiated an effective counter. I told him that there was significant
evidence to counter-indicate his accusation. He said he'd finish the game
under protest. I told him that wouldn't be necessary. He insisted. Shortly
later he started with the accusations again. I booted from the game, banned
him from the server and apologized to the players.
