When I read the rules list that Valoren Gunsling has presented, and which I critiqued, that issue was right out there as an issue. It may have since been resolved, which your post seems to indicate, but at that point in time it appeared to be discussable, and I cannot imagine anyone considering himself legit who uses maphack.
What got me interested in the discussion was that it was even raised as an issue. It also got me laughing that cheese and cheating were not differentiated by any number of the folks who frequent that forum. The Smite Paladin who uses a teleport ring/amulet. Not cheating, it is in the game, it is not a bug, and is a valid approach unless it is agreed between parties before the duel to not use that. In that case, of course, it is an honor violation between parties, which is of course antithetical to any duelist with any self respect, like yourself. I thought that the attempt was an interesting way to try and codify a lot of "understoods."
I was advised by any number of folks that in a tournament, the kinds that many folks there had been in, and where it was easy for them to spot folks stepping outside the bounds of the pre agreed RoE, that there are MANY understood rules for those who duel often.
Thanks for reconfirming that cheating is still seen as abhorrent to those legit duellists out there.
Pandora was one of my friends who likes a good legit duel. Not sure if she plays any more.
