No need to get snide.
Yes I think that they did know, that's why I posted a response to Jabah's post. You rules of conduct don't specify articulating observations/opinions on things that are obvious and on the table does it? It was an observation with some explanation of the consequences of what might happen. If so, then clarify your rules of conduct because I don't see it.
The only thing that could apply is #3 in response to their choice of abandoning Shiloh.
Quote:1) Lurkers can respond to civ4 mechanics questions (eg how many turns for a worker to chop a forest? Why didn't my cottage grow? How does the AP work?)
2) Lurkers can congratulate players on achieving a goal (eg Well done on getting that city spot)
2a) However, don't reveal unnecessary information on your comment (eg Well done on getting that city spot - I really thought that Greece was going to get it)
3) Lurkers can participate in option discussions but only after the player has articulated the options and only to the extent of pointing out additional strengths / weaknesses of options that the player might have missed
3a) Lurkers can NOT suggest additional options that the play might have missed
3b) Lurkers can NOT express opinions about various options
4) Lurkers can express opinions on player agreed rules, but should also point out that rules agreed by the players should be discussed by the players
5) Lurkers cannot ask sequence questions (eg when will Settler for Black Dot be ready?)
6) Lurkers can ask for screenshots
Nor.
Quote:Lurker's Code of Conduct ...
1. when I win - I don't want anyone to say I only won because I had lurker spoiler information
2. no giving away my plans to the other teams
3. no giving away their plans to me
4. don't make me haunt you if you wreck my game
5. don't make another team haunt you for wrecking their game
6. will your actions stand up once the spoiler threads are uncovered?
7. what would you say if a player came back at you with one of these questions / comments ...
* "Why did you tell so-and-so our plans?" Everyone knows what's going to happen with Shiloh. and the shifting of the flank. City isn't there anymore, therefore other cities are now at risk.
* "So-and-so never saw that coming until you told them" See above
So apparently your understanding is different than mine. All the more reason to hammer out an non-ambiguous list instead of these subjective common sense lists since people's definitions of 'spoiler' are very different or just ban commenting all together. I'm so tired of these 'oh X posted a spoiler bad X, you are bad' posts. -_-'
