|
|
I recently tried online Scrabble again after several years away from it. Then I was reminded of one reason why I'd abandoned it earlier.
There are easy-to-get "cheats" online--programs a person can download that enable him/her to cheat at Scrabble. I've heard how these work and can imagine that they would be a good way for a player to keep on winning at online Scrabble--and raising your rating as a player, too.
There's no way that I know of to find out if a player is using one of these cheats.
I wonder if other online games have similar flaws--ways of cheating that are very available.
I can't imagine why anyone would want to cheat but there seem to be people who want to win far more than they want to enjoy a game.
I haven't tried many other online games. Does anyone here know if all of them now have ways of cheating? |

Agate,
In a game of chance like Monopoly, I think it would be harder to cheat wouldn't it? Or even Yahtzee, I don't think it would be possible to cheat at that? _________________ Ewizabeth

Hmm, for Monopoly I can't see how a person could cheat online--though I haven't ever tried it online. I don't know Yahtzee at all. I'll have to look into that.
Interesting point! |
