Guidelines on what is defined as cheating
- Transfering colonies/planets, ships or resources from someone to yourself
"Example 1
Yes we know every one who uses the market exchances resources not transfers them. Please also use common sense, for example: if a someone sells to you minerals at a low prices and someone buys back the same minerals at a high price is a clear example of cheating."
Judging by this, a "transfer" is essentially a gift of some kind to another empire - something which, for better or worse, is clearly illegal in this game. However, that isn`t at all what I`m doing. What I`m doing is an "exchange". Valuable CGs from me for valuable credits and artifacts. So, as far as comes from the Manual, I am safe =)
