Agreed.. there's still a fair chance that CFC won't have run C&D, or that they are overconfident. It ain't over 'till the Taj is constructed.

Is there anything in the rules of this game about research and / or build swapping?
After reading the rules, the only one that might go close is ...
f. Bugs and Exploits - The use of any bug or exploit is not allowed. The decision about exactly what constitutes a bug or exploit rests solely with the admin. Consult with the admin if any action you are considering may be a bug or exploit.
Hiding builds is definitely not a BUG. Is it an exploit? Again, I am going to say NO to that. However, to be on the safe side, I will reach out to our admin and confirm. Does anyone have a reliable way of contacting our admin? I won't be contacting our admin until I have a reliable contact method.
I have finally decided to put down some cash and register a website. It is www.ruffhi.com. Now I remain free to move the hosting options without having to change the name of the site.

If we do this then why not swap research every turn to hide that? What's the difference? Because that's been referred to as a scumbag move more than once in this game.

Part of me hates moves like this. I'm not competitive by nature. But this is a competitive game, and we should approach it with that mindset. Build and research swapping are neither a bug, nor do I consider them to be an exploit. And since there's no rule against actions like playing the clock or build swapping, they're fair game imo. To be honest, doubling up on wonder fail gold is a more exploit-y thing to do than this.

Are you serious Ruff? First you say that our retarded incompetent baffoon of an admin should have the right to appoint his successor and now you want to give him details related to Taj when the last time he was asked to handle something he talked to CFC privately and did nothing else??

I read it all as sarcastic humor.

Okay you're right, the last sentence indicates that. My bad if so.

So has all the Lord Parkin PB4 bashing been sarcastic as well? Cause that's what is really bugging me. We've been throwing a teammate under the bus for shady play. But as soon as we can see the advantage in doing it ourselves it's suddenly okay.
