Sigh - I'll have to come out and say that whatever it appears that I am doing on the face of it is would seem tactically sound.

I won't admit or deny it what was said, but here's are my thoughts on this and you can judge me from there.

Consider this:

Definition of Cheating: To act dishonestly or unfairly in order to gain an advantage.

Definition of Unethical: Lacking moral principles; unwilling to adhere to proper rules of conduct.

Definition of Glitch: A defect or malfunction in a machine or plan.

Okay, how does disconnecting or "Warping" fit these definitions?

I say it doesn't fit any of these definitions and here's why I think this:

1) Warping happens when you disconnection - intentionally or unintentionally and everyone has moved their bots while disconnected (please don't tell me you stop moving when you disconnect).

2) Warping is a free (requires no add-on, jailbreaking, or 3rd party app) tactic.

3) Its unrestricted - anyone can perform it with no limitations.  EVERYONE can do this (at least on the iOS) - its not restricted to wallet warriors or players with the fastest internet connections.

4) Warping is has been known by Pixonic since the inception of this game on iOS.  YES, Pixonic knows about this.  YES, the bulk of the WWR players know about this.

So if Warping is FREE, UNRESTRICTED, and its ACKNOWLEDGED by Pixonic and most players, it be defined as "unfair" or even dishonest. Therefore it cannot even remotely be consider "cheating" - please come up with logic at least as good as the one I just laid out if you insist on calling Warping cheating.

Warping can't be defined as a "glitch" either, because its not a defect or malfunction in the game. Whether it occurs naturally and unnaturally doesn't matter. There's no defect either way.

Now about being "unethical" - how does this tactic fit that definition? There's no breaking any rules of conduct because EVERYONE can perform the tactic without restriction. You are not taking advantage of pilots as they can perform the same tactic on you. But if this is seen as unethical, then whey are wallet warriors that buy gold (for instant upgrades, instant gold bots/weapons, or WSPs) ethical? I can't buy unlimited amounts of gold and I can definitely say that those that buy gold have a clear and unfair advantage of pilots without credit cards (you know, the ones generally under 18). Please make a credible argument against this last statement if you want to make a case that warping is more unethical that being a wallet warrior.

I probably left some good logic about why Warping is neither unfair or unethical. So, unless you can provide a clear and convincing argument against what I've just laid out, I'll just say that Warping will continue unabated until Pixonic does something about it - until then, why are you not using a tactic that is FREE and UNIVERSALLY available if you are on iOS?

If you guys want to boot me out of the Clan, then I accept your judgment, but don't accuse me of cheating or being unethical without an argument that is as clear as the one I've just stated.
