Bob,

Interesting post. It delights me that we have someone with this kind of
knowledge!!

Could you please give a HYPOTHETICAL to the mathematical impossibilities you
refer to? Nothing leaps to my mind...but wouldn't a mathematical
impossibility be "proof" of cheating?

Steve B.

There isn't. I am a software developer by trade and have studied PAC files
pretty extensively. I have also called Strat support and talked to a
software engineer. This is a common request that hasn't been implemented by
Strat (yet).

You can tell some things by looking at date/time stamps. Were the games
played in order (indicating that someone replayed a game out of sequence).
Are there gaps in the date/time stamps? (although as a father I can attest
that it could mean that a small child needed attention). Did a player do
something that was mathematically impossible indicating that someone altered
the game results?

Even if one locks the league from manual entry/ undo, one could still exit
the game if he were losing and replay.

The only thing you can do is to be honest and play the game with integrity
and hope that your opponent does the same.

The key to a successful league is to only have owners that will play
honestly.

Alan,

I have never bothered to look, but is it possible to tell in the play by
play if the "Undo Last Play" option has been used? How about manually
entering or "Quick Play"?

If it is possible to tell if the "Undo Last Play" option has been used,
wouldn't this be proof of cheating? I can't think of any instance where it
would be necessary to use this option.

Otherwise, "proof" will be hard to come by...

Steve B.

Subject: [SmileyList] gameplay rules


Some owners have lately been noticing and reporting on the disparity in
road-vs-home records of some teams (not necessarily just in 1970, but in
some cases over the years), and have raised questions as to whether we're
all playing by the same rules in our road games.

I believe that the following is stated in the Constitution, or at least in
the Instructions:

Always give the HOME team 5 days off before playing the first game of the
series.

Even more importantly:

Do not use the "Undo Last Play" option, do not manually enter dice rolls or
results, do not use the "Quick Play" option, and certainly do not discard a
game once it has begun.

I find it very difficult to believe that any owner would cheat in a league
like this, where we are playing for absolutely nothing other than the
enjoyment of it, and of course there will always be random variations in
home/road records. Those things generally reflect merely the degree of
"luck" a team has, which is usually a temporary condition (whether good or
bad) and tends to even out over the course of several seasons (but not
always).

We have no choice but to work on the honor system here, and I sincerely hope
that winning (or in some cases, losing) is not so important to any owner
that they would feel the need to cheat to accomplish their goals.

I personally do not believe that anyone *is* actually cheating (if I did,
and had proof, expulsion from the league would occur), but the issue has
been raised, and I feel it's best to have things out in the open rather than
having owners suspicious of each other in private.

Alan
