Re: Mineral Hunt 3!

SOOOOO Yes Mineral Buddies? and If I'm Higher then You In places I'll give You some!

 

if he's feeding you the answers, you won't rank higher than him, will you?

 

We Feed Eachother!

 

ok, I don't think it's against the rules. Hopefully I can start at 11AM. If not, I'll start as soon as possible.

 

Don't Worry If your Behind I'll Help ya If I even get Through The first one (I think the Mineral Hunt #2 should tell us how it is I think you can still play it, but not win anything)

 

I've never seen anything in the rules about it.

 

Unless one of the mods of sc2forums says otherwise, I would say working together is cheating. If you just make a pact to split the winnings that is probably acceptable but if you actually tell each the answers and provide hints im 99% sure that is cheating.

 

If he didn't say anything it's technically not cheating but I wouldn't do something like that, least of all after you posted it. Gm_k's story comes to mind.

 

Well What if We Split the Minerals We work together thats it PLEASE PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Also remember assuming it is cheating (which again im pretty sure it is) sc2forums generally takes away from you an amount relative to what you won. And if I remember correctly the number is generally something like 5 times the amount gained. So if you won 10,000 minerals but you cheated thats probably 50,000 minerals your saying goodbye too. Which in the case of most members that is all of their minerals and everything they own.


EDIT: @Rex again splitting the minerals after the fact is one thing but helping each during the competition is something else entirely.

 

But I'm gonna split with my best buddy If I get one of the places for sure but if I don't get any places I don't split but its Eon's choice to split or not.

Edit:Well I help him and if I get a place I split!!

 

While I can't speak on the admin's behalf I believe he would consider teaming up to be cheating.

The point is to be the quickest on your own, and it's not all that hard. By giving out answers and clues you're effectively stacking the cards against other players and their chances of being in the top finishers. So yes, this would be considered cheating.

Don't do it.

 

... The Eagle Strikes BUM BUM BUM!!!

 

ok, so my teaming with rex is off then if it's considered cheating.

I could compare this to noobs teaming up to beat a more experienced player, so I will. Me and Rex are the lvl 10 noobs, and BoP is the lvl 30 ownage player. Me and Rex team up to try to take down BoP. We succeed, and divy up the spoils between us.

 

Yeah but if this is like the last one only one of you have to find the answer and you both get a prize for it which isn't fair.

 

No Teaming up but only a little help?

 

No team up just a little help?

 

So early? I get up after 1pm on weekends.

 

you beat me Oo
I get up 11-12 on free days (which rarely include weekends recently....or any other days for that matter -.- )

 

Well, it is Sunday. We got to church at 9:30 AM. Then either go out the eat afterwards, or go hme and eat. Then we don't do much afterwards, so I should be able to start the hunt about 30 minutes after it starts.

However, there are times where we don't eat until 12, so I might be able to start on time.
