i apologized to the owner who's a really nice player and understood. no, not a dirty cheater nor shenanigist and i wouldn't judge someone as that w/o facts specific to the individual situation. that might be what happens much more often than actual cheating, real life things that others might not know about esp with newer players.
The admins here do the best with difficult situations so i'd report it and document suspicions. i've turned in cheaters in other areas but also cleared people who were accused of it, inc sometimes when lumped in w/ others. i've learned i'd rather be wrong about a person not cheating (who was) than vice versa.
anyway to the admins, thanks for the updates and all the hard work!
I know that I don't pay to lease a mare that I don't REALLY want a foal from. I may wait until later in the year to breed her, but I WILL get to her. Things do happen in real life, and for instances like you posted above, Em stated somewhere in this thread, that it's possible if you message her, and the situation is LEGIT, an exception could possibly be made. I'm sure Em will correct me if I'm wrong.
I think most people make leased mares a priority to get done, and although this new policy will sometimes penalize honest people, it's more important to me to prevent the LAME people that have nothing better to do than cheat to momentarily get ahead in a game.
