I'm not talking if he did something horrible because of speeding.
The point is that he speeded.

So, if I'm reading you right, it's not the consequences but the mere fact of breaking the law that matters to you? Shocked

Quote:

if no one cheated, then we won't have to talk about magnitude and the list-of-cheats.
Only if a person cheats, do we talk about 'the level' of cheating.

That's what you get when you start mixing all kinds of misdemeanors together. You are then forced to consider relative levels and magnitudes and whatnot. Yuck

Quote:

So you agree that a person has to be a cheater, in order to have cheated enough to break one of the "listed-cheats".

"Enough"? Either he used one of the cheats (old or new) or he didn't. There's no "levels" of that.

Quote:

Similarly, he has to have cheated if he's broken host-rules as well.

Only in your definition where it seems everything not in line with someone's rules (or wishes) is "cheating". Rolling Eyes

Quote:

So new players/hosts will know that the person might be "careless"/"cheating" in other games.

Only in "special-rules" games, of course. And players/hosts in those need to be wary anyway. The "rule-bender/breaker" label used to be plenty enough for their convenience. Whip

Quote:

Confused.
Mac didn't break the "list".
How's he a "cheater" as per your definition?

We weren't talking here about Mac, but about your fancy listing of

Quote:

A cheater.
A cheater who got caught.
A cheater who got caught and continued bending rules to his advantage.
A cheater who spoilt the game by using "many cheats"/"listed cheats".

Quote:

By my definition, only those who intentionally break host/game rules are cheaters. That doesn't make everyone a cheater.

Once you throw "intentionality" into the mix, yes it does, because more often than not it'll be a subjective assessment, and there'll always be someone who'll take the hardest stance. Shame

Quote:

I hope I don't have to state everytime that intent matters. Careless mistakes aren't the same as intentional rule-breaking aka cheating.

Oh yes, you'll have, because that's what your newfangled definition entails. Careless != intentional != cheating or madness ensues! Silly hair

Quote:

Well, as long as I get the chance to tell the next judge that it was on account of a rented car that malfunctioned.

As long as he doesn't think you're a serial cheater... Rolling Eyes

Quote:

Who defined the old word?

Long years of endless flamewars and personal grudges that didn't quite leave a lot more common ground than that. Shocked

Quote:

Why does it need definition?

Well, since it seems newcomers might get confused about the old simple rules, or might even try to confuse everyone by lumping together things that shouldn't be...

Quote:

Aren't we using English that already has words defined and enough words to take care of variations?
Why do we need to change meanings of words, for creating stars lexicon?

This is not English class. This is the Stars! microcosm. We made our own Thesaurus and a few whiners shouldn't be allowed to alter it. ...

So many Stars, so few Missiles!
