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!!!
