 That's right!!! Indisputable evidence! No matter what m.a definitions evolved into. Twisted Evil
Look at the race file:
AR IFE/TT/ARM/ISB/GR/UR/MA, 0.22g-4.40g/-140°C-140°C/15mR-85mR 20%, 1/1000 10/10/10/?, 10/5/10, En/Con Cheap, Weap/Prop/Bio/Elec Normal
-1287 leftover advantage points

This is cheating no matter how you define it.
The Macinti are definitely stretching all Stars! rules.

Should the race be put on the bug/exploit list?
Or should we just accept them as part of the game engine and continue to kick some expert AI butt in test games?

 The Macs are obviously using some cracked source code hack in the RW. I'm sure that we can all find common ground in agreeing that such egregious manipulation of the very foundation of our game is cheating.

In the Mac's defense, all the AIs are using this cheat; sort of an evolved concensus that this is not defined as cheating.

Actually, is there a way to cheat the RW into letting you play with a negative race?

You are forever labeled a whiner on this forum for crying about this Cheat! Anyone who plays against this cheating race is a cheater. I had to stop playing my AI game so I wasn't a cheater.
I can never play an AI game again with all the AI races present so I am depressed now.
Anyone that thinks this post is even slightly serious is a cheater! Laughing

Your familiarity with forbidden words and your abundant use of them puts you on the low end of the Slippery Slope, sir. Therefore, you must be a cheater too. Hit over head

LoL I new Id get you to have fun replying to that.

I just see the Macinti Race data and it holds the power within to brainwash me a select few of others into cheating.

Everyone posting before and after in every thread that MA posts in is a cheater!!

The Macinti are off limits to me now. Looks like Ill have to download those remastered AI races.
But are they accused of cheating too? Wall Bash

The subject was interesting in the other thread that was so popular. My sick sense of humor lets me keep the interest alive. I can bash the AI without hurting anyone and its quite interesting to find out what sort of delusional things my mind can come up with when Its bored.

You better point me out to the exact line in the Standard Cheatty Disclaimer where that rule exists, or I'll be forced to challenge you to an "anything goes" Duel! Hit over head
