Why do you use a knife and fork to eat with. (I am Assuming of course)

Because they are tools. If everyone use's a knife and fork and you use only your fingers, Does that make knifes and forks cheating. no just a tool. But since it is a tool that is allowed on the site, it is not cheating.

You can of course decide to eat with your hands instead of a knife and fork but do not be upset if you lose more food than eat.

Ignore Owen - he's just stirring Wac...

If he's not careful - he might have to fall under the Dick Bus again!?

Using a knife as well as a fork is cheating.

I agree with Sirius , whats wrong with using your eyes and brain , have never used it and still done ok. At the end of the day I get more satisfaction from working out a situation then from simply reading data and hoping for good dice, tools are for work not play

If BOB was not available to all the people that play the game then using this tool would be cheating. Since there is a thread that makes BOB available, even allows users a forum to suggest improvements, then it is a community developed tool that enhances the game play.

If I were playing online poker and I developed a 'tool' that would show me all the players cards that's cheating. If it was made available to all the players no one would play anymore but it's no longer cheating.

My two cents anyway...

BTW play both with and without BOB (there isn't a firefox client for my phone, yet)

Have you actually downloaded and saw what it does?

i) Reduces the chance of accidentaly doing something you don't wanna do(accidentally click end attacks etc.)
ii)Acts as a legend to help figure out how complex maps work
iii)Helps quickly see who has how many teritorries, continents, if they missed any turns, and how men will they get.

See nothing there I couldn't do but it just makes it easier and quicker

I love BOB
It doesn't give you any info that you can't figure out yourself therefore it is not cheating

Simple logic!!!
