It's probably my lack of understanding of English language, that leads me to a wrong definition of the term "cheating". I do not want to impost my playing style on anyone else, that would be a misunderstanding. But when downloading a module and starting to play, I myself submit to the ruleset someone defined with his or her work and contribution to the community. Disobeying those rules is, in lack of a better word, cheating to me. Of course, it may be necessary to solve a situation a cannot overcome or survive otherwise, but still...
Perhaps someone out there who goes strong against the "cheating" accusation can explain to me what they feel about things like I described in the previous sentence or what they call it.
It basically boils down to this : you have downloaded/created/purchased/whatever a NWN mod for Closed SP Play. Meaning that you (and only you) are going to be playing it. It also means that you are not going to be comparing results of that Mod with anyone else.
Definition of a Closed SP Environment.
In essence, you are playing it alone for your enjoyment.
As such, only you are creating the rules that you abide by. If you choose to abide by pre-defined rules (such as those that the Mod Dev/Creator/Maker/Builder/Whatever have
suggested - you will note that this is just a suggestion), well, those are the
current rules that you are playing by.
But note the following, please - the moment you deviate from those rules, you are indeed now creating
new rules in place of the old rules! This is because you yourself are acting as the highest authority in your Closed SP Environment (nobody is enforcing any other ruleset for you to play by but yourself). Since this is so, there can be absolutely no cheating here, as you cannot cheat on yourself (exception : you have multiple personalities).
Now we approach your opinion that others who deviate from how you play, and how you view things are cheating.
How is it that you are somehow the ultimate authority here in someone's Closed SP Environment?
You need to explain this. How can you state that how someone else plays their Mod in a Closed SP Environment is a cheater? After all, they are playing by
THEIR OWN RULES! Not your rules, not some pre-defined rules that you have agreed to. Consider also, that they are the ultimate authority in their Closed SP Environment and that you do not figure into this.
How can you then label them as cheaters? Define who is being cheated on, please.
As for you, ShaDoOoW - stop trolling me. You were
ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN THE THREAD WHERE I OFFERED MY PROOF; AND YOU FAILED TO DISPROVE IT OR OFFER A COUNTERPROOF!!!! I find it absolutely false and downright lowly of you to do what you are doing here.
You know damn well that you participated in that thread! You also know that I posted a proof in that thread, and even you admitted due to it that there was no cheating in a Closed SP Environment! All you had to offer in way of denial was that you did not think that a Closed SP Environement was possible.
You disappoint me utterly. I did not think you would sink that low. Lying and deceit, where one can easily expose it...*shakes head sadly* What in the hell were you thinking?
Do you really want me to dig up that thread, and expose you?
I think the least you can do is offer a full apology to all here, and gracefully bow out. Otherwise, I am going to dig up that thread and expose you. And after that, I will not accept anything more from you.
In other words, you now have the chance to correct your misdeeds before the factual evidence gets presented.
