Just as I expected, Philippe BRUNO <philipp...@skynet.be> came up
with this:

First: I've never - ever - played TT networked.

As soon as I found out these "tricks" I just thougt it made the game
more fun. When playing against the AI, that is!

A turn-based card game is not the same as a realtime computer-strategy
game! I really don�t think you can compare these two! It's like tryng
to mix apples and bananas to get a cheese-burger!

Maybe yould should tell Hansbj�rg that? See if he likes you ideas.

>Pls read ALL my posts TWICE before you answer...  You write arguments

Or you could have shortened your first post! Half of it is
self-repeating!

Am I right when I say this?:
"It is impossible to make a game free of cheating, just like it is
impossible to create energy."
