raider i think more of us would've been 100% behind you if you explained it right away like spencerho did
they made a flawed game (by allowing you to stop -ev sequences and start over), you exploited it
you didn't cheat but you and others got real piggy with it... as i've said before life isn't always black and white, this is one of those gray areas where you certainly weren't 10/10 at fault
