I don't think I've ever been in an alliance that didn't have a 'no cheating' policy, so it was not something spoken or shared in public #'s. But back then it seemed like everyone was doing it; I remember hearing that SynSid had dozens of bots! My first alliance was a cluster alliance that had Fury members. They were HUGE and it didn't take long to realize how they got that way...ours was a decision of 'If you can't beat them, join them.'

I haven't cheated since coming back to the game and finding there are multihunters. While it seems thier adjudication of the rules often comes into question, MH's were a good and necessary development. I've been playing another tick-based game and it seems to have a growing multi problem. I guess that's just a natural flaw with this type of game...there will always be cheaters.
