I'm not sure how to classify myself. I've played in maybe 5-7 PBEM games of various universe sizes about two or three years ago, and havn't played at all since. I didn't think of myself as "a beginner" until I started reading the forum about "cheats". Now I'm not sure.

I had no knowledge of any "cheats", except for chaff and fleet splitting. Chaff always seemed like a valid tactic to me, and after reading all the views presented by others I still see it as a valid tactic, not a cheat. As for fleet splitting, I never knew how the game mechanics worked, so if I could never split my fleets in a manner which predicted an outcome. It was just a means of saving some of an inferior fleet as opposed to leaving them ALL there as a sitting duck. I never viewed that as a cheat either, although I read how others who know more about the mechanics could exploit it.

Anyway, I might like to play, but to follow the rules I'd need the "chaff disallowed" rule more defined. I'm still not sure exactly what constitutes "chaff" in a game where chaff is disallowed. Obviously, a large number of scout hulls accompanying a war fleet is chaff, but what about a large number of minimally armed or obsolete vessels built on a destroyer hull?

The other cheats I read about were a revelation to me, and obvious exploitation.

Anyway, I'd like to play if you can clarify exactly what "no chaff allowed" means, so the game doesn't come down to an arguement on whether those rules have been violated.

I'M NOT AN EXPERT AND I'M OFTEN PROVEN WRONG. TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN YOU READ MY POSTS.
