Game WISH 39: Cheating

This is from the Game WISH page:

Have you ever played with someone who cheated? (Fudging dice rolls or implying greater powers than they really had, or some other abuse of in-game trust…) How did you handle it? How would you recommend it be handled?

Server software update

Tonight I installed an Ensim server software update and it was the scariest thing I have done to the server so far.

At some point I had been following the security releases for Linux and such and there was some kind of sendmail problem that I wanted to fix, so I installed a bunch of RPMs to patch up sendmail.  Everything seemed to be fine.  I didn't think much more about it.

More video game goodness

Ok, I took back Baldur's Gate.  The main problem in the end was that I had to cheat to win.  I didn't see any way to get to the end without cheating. 

There was this ridiculous section of dungeon at the end of the first act that is just a spiral inward.  There are no save points.  At this point, I have used a cheat to make myself invincible and give myself all spells.  I'm getting poisoned and bitten by spiders.  There are thieves that would otherwise have killed me in one good blow.  I killed everything and I didn't level up until after the very last boss.  I made level 5.
