Well Gible, actually I think that glossary or term list or rule list or whatever it could be called would have no place on the Wiki because it would mostly be for use on Autohost.

The way I see it, it is a win/win scenario here: everybody help make a list of rules with explanations on what is possible and what is not possible under the rules so everything get cleared up before the game. That would prevent people feeling the rules of the game changed in the middle if the host actually had something else in mind.

On the hosting side, the host could simply read the rule list and pick what he thinks fits best the spirit of his game. Simplier, faster and with much reduced chance of surprise later in the game.

The way I see this, it would be something like this:

1.) The game restrict the amount of allies in this game to X...
1.A) Where "allies" refer to the players you can set as friends in the relation window.
1.B) Where "allies" refer to any other players which have direct helpful relations with you, would it be trade or exchange of any kind.
1.C) Same as 1.B, except that any obvious attempt to circumvent the previous rule would be harshly dealt with. Example: obvious wolf/lamb exchanges or pop drops between players who are already at their maximum number of allies.

etc. With better, lengthy explanations for each point of course.

Would be a pretty long list and would probably take a very long time to polish... But it is worth it IMHO.

Edit: Oh, and BTW... Here is the definition of Wikipedia on the word "cheating". It is really what I thought it would be too. Nothing controversial here, or even anything to discuss about this definition IMHO. Nothing to do with intent whatsoever.

Quote:

Cheating refers to the overt or covert breaking of rules to gain advantage in a competitive situation.

While accidental rule-break is grounds for punitive action, I'm not so sure it fits the definition of cheating, since if you don't know you're committing an act, you can't be committing it with an intent to gain advantage.
