White Listing vs Sitting...A REAL ANSWER PLEASE!

[Azartyn]

I have posted this question in other threads and have not received a legit answer so I will ask this here....

I understand the seriousness of cheating Utopia faces on a daily basis what I don't understand is the justification you give to "sitting" since I see it as a paid way to xlog aka cheat versus white listing. To me, again, this is a PAY TO CHEAT system.

Bishop, when this new system was implemented you basically said....deal with it. Find alternate strategies to work around the system if you are playing from the same house. Yet, you don't see anything wrong with sitting. If someone cannot play their province why should they be able to PAY to get someone to xlog into their province? Why should that kingdom not have to find a way to "deal with it" or "rethink their strategy"? That person should just have to go into vaca mode and deal with it instead of being able to PAY TO XLOG.

What is the difference between a white listing compared to a sitting? Answer please.

Summary from the other threads:
The sitters issue stands apart from the introduced IP block system and should be discussed separately.
Pay to cheat is still cheating.
Sitting has duration limitations.

You can sit for 3 weeks, no? Wars don't even last that damn long so how is it not cheating to sit? Now can I get a real answer?

and now MORE info about sitting ....every time a province changes hands for sitting it resets the 3 weeks....Oh my! and you dont call this pay to play?

Its not cheating because rules allow it ... theres your real answer. You opinion on the matter is irrelevant since your not the one making rules in this game.

Bishop has stated that restrictions for couples were collateral damage; not the target of the new system.

Nope

citadela01 - Nice smart ass comment to bad you fail. xlogging is against the rules and sitting is xlogging.

sitting isn't xlogging

When it's set up the sitter inherits the other prov. It's much closer to multi-ing their it is xlogging, if you want to run the "sitting is illegal" route...

[Azartyn]

ok..so let me get this straight. You can PAY to have a country sit for 3 weeks. Someone else in the same KD PAYS to sit same 1st province after three weeks(time resets), at the end of the 2nd set of 3weeks a 3rd person again PAYS to sit province for 3 more weeks so thats a total of 9 weeks if the chain dont continue. And you dont call this cheating/multi-ing/x-logging? Regardless, same person logging into two provinces according to the geniuses here is cheating. Lets just call it what it is. Pay to Play.

[Palem]

No.

It's 3 weeks per prov being sat.

[Azartyn]

No.

It's 3 weeks per prov being sat.

Not the way it was explained to me from someone thats been playing a looooooooooooong time. Everytime someone else sits the province the 3 week time limit resets.

Regardless Palem, its still one person logging into two provinces. still cheating.

[Palem]

Then it's bugged and should be reported.

[Azartyn]

Regardless Palem, its still one person logging into two provinces. IS xlogging and IS still cheating except its paid for.

Then maybe you should make a suggestion instead of posting here?

Im trying to get a definitive answer as to what the difference is between the two other than one is paid for and one isnt. Not to mention from Bishops other posts he thinks we are to stupid to figure it out.
