Discussion / Re: DoomRL trainer

« on: March 19, 2008, 08:18 »

This conversation was so titillating that I felt the need to create a user name here to add to it.  I think that cheaters should be allowed to play games.  I realize that the only way that some people get enjoyment out of video games is if they feel like they are all-powerful within the game.  Ultimately, though, it is up to the maker of the game to decide whether or not to allow legitimate cheats in the game (like a working IDDQD or IDKFA).  In DoomRL I would say allow these cheats and, to make spading more difficult, make it so that the moment these cheats are entered all unique items vanish from the game.  Allowing these cheats may also deter cheaters who make ridiculous scores on the proposed internet scoreboard because you could simply not include cheaters in the top scores...or you could give them their own scoreboard =D.  Then if they can simply type IDDQD to become invulnerable they may not go through all the trouble of making their own trainers.

Those are my two cents.
