In my first ever Autohost game years ago all the players were emailed the (unpassworded) host file along with the other game files at the start of the game.

Several of us informed the host, who immediately restarted the game and sent out replacement game files. However, we weren't given an opportunity to change our race files.

So, I knew that I could use the original game files to run a parallel game myself and scout around to find all the other player's Homeworlds and get their hab centres and check for clues about their PRT/LRTs.

The question was, should I do it ?

I asked a friend of mine, who had been playing other PBEMs for years, what I should do about it. His advice was that I should assume everyone else was taking advantage of this, and that I'd be putting myself at an unfair disadvantage if I didn't.

What are everyone's thoughts on this situation which I think is much less black-and-white ?
