I don't care about any of this.
As far as I'm concerned, if you've found a minor exploit that you can use to your advantage, go for it! I'd use an advantage if I had one, we all would.
If what you're doing is cheating, as in mechanically illegal then then Devs will catch you. If what you're doing is cheating, as in considered to be unfair by the players on the server, then the community here will catch you, and force you to see the error of your ways.
That's always been one of my favourite things about his game... If you just start playing, with no prior knowledge, you're going to play a rainbow strat and you're probably going to get yourself into trouble. The players here, especially because of the clan system, have taken this game WAY beyond the scope of its rules, and developed it to the point that you MUST play it in a more or less defined and strategically specified way to be effective. A good example is the generally agreed upon retal format. Nowhere in the game mehanics does it say anything about retalling a landgrab. That is a practise entirely adapted by the folks who play the game. There are, of course, different retal policies, but the general idea is totally novel to this game.
Therefore, the players police the game, is what I'm saying.
So, use your advantage as best you can, and everybody else will decide if you should ever use it again.
