Thanks everyone, I just wanted a survey as to how rampant of a problem this may be. It has ruined other games I've played. It dosen't seem to be a problem here for the most part. I'd hypothesize that its because of the gamer demographic attracted to SC. People who have the patience to play an extended strategy game usually don't have the motivation to cheat themselves and those they are playing as much as the twitch kiddies playing first person shooters.

Hello all, I'm new around here, and have yet to find a PBEM partner, but would like to ask some questions on what is considered ethical play... I see that there are some inherrant security flaws in the PBEM system, such as: - the possibility of modifying the save game file binary - the obvious ability of someone to play thier turn over and over until it comes out to thier liking before sending it back - how do you know that the campaign your opponent started is really what you think it is and unmodified? I know from my years of experiences with online play in other games that there is no sure-fire way to stop cheating... (and the best bet is to play with people whom you know and trust) I guess what I'm really asking, is what possibly cheap things do people commonly do, and what should I watch out for?

Thanks! Re #1: Yeah, she plays, but she gets angry and discouraged easily... and dosen't like playing as the allies. Guess I need to find a PBEM partner... Re #3: Figures... guess i'd better start earning some medals around here.

Hello People, long time player of SC, first time forum poster - I'm glad to see a thriving community for such a great game! I have a couple of suggestions for SC2 that would be simply implimented and would (imho) improve the gameplay over SC1: 1. Please turn on playback for hotseat games. I play with my girlfriend alot at home, and it would be nice to see what moves she made against me (as you would in a tcp/ip game) 2. Include a map editor: this game would be awesome if we could create our own arbitrary maps! (pacific theatre anyone?) 3. Include a simple chat interface for tcp/ip games... that way we wouldn't have to press the windoze key to get out to our AIM messanger, or pick up the phone, etc. I'd like to thank the developers/publishers of SC for putting out a GREAT game with simple elegance and infinite playability!
