If Shaggy told your son to spill milk all over your carpet that you have spent $5 a month on for the past (almost a) year, then you lost $60. Now multiply that by the 30+ players in PITA, and Shaggy just tried to intentionally cheat you out of having a carpet that's worth around $1,800, I'm sure you'd be pretty mad at your son too.
It's just a little sad that rather than play the game by outplaying one's opponents, one thinks they have to try and go behind others' backs to win.
I don't believe that in chess, I've won because I switched my opponent's pieces around to more favorable positions for me while his back is turned; do you? If so, then I guess we simply have different moral precepts and different reasons for playing our games.
You are making the assumption shaggy was directly involved, which seems to be inaccurate. But I'll play your game, lets extrapolate your numbers and change the scenario on a much larger scale. There are people in this game that do not play by the rules. The people multi account, phish accounts, etc. Now that one player has an advantage over all the others that play by the rules. So at 5 bux a month x 900 players (the impact is even greater on new worlds with 10,000 players) so 4500 a month or 54,000 a year. Seems to me disbanding a tribe that just reforms is insignificant compared to others that are cheating.
