Yeah I saw the news in the States. One of my friends has 17°F, which is in the minuses in °C. I remember all too well when we had below freezing temps here, so I can imagine how cold it must be there. Today, I am going to be home all day. Will watch another classic film, make bears, and maybe get some writing done. I have been out for the last three nights, and now need a break.

I don't think accepting gifts falls under cheating. If it did, then every step we take would be scrutinized and we would be left to feel badly for something that is beyond our control. I mean; if I did that, then the appreciation of the gifts I receive would seriously dwindle. Yes, I do know that many of the gifts I received were clones, but many were not, and trying to figure that one out would give me a migraine. Clearly, to me those who actually do the hacking and cheating leaves me to ponder their code of morals or at least their world view. I try so hard not to judge the people I know who are do this, but I also question how they would be in real life if they are stealing pixels. What would they do if they found a wallet on the street? How would they react to it? Those sorts of questions filter through my head. Is it justifiable to say 'Oh but they are perfectly nice people' and dismiss it? I have serious conflicts with that because to me cheating at a game takes away not only the integrity of the game, but also that of the person doing it. How much can I trust them in real day to day situations if they are using cheats to play a game? Along those same lines, is there any real satisfaction to having 20 anteaters, all the while knowing that they were obtained by cheating?

I think hacking and cloning takes the fun out of the game and it makes me sad to see that people are using it as a means of robbing people out of the fun that is supposed to embody this wonderful game. The sad fact is people seem to have this idea that getting something in whatever way possible is alright instead of being able to find it and be happily surprised by that find. I would rather find one or two of something than to have a bunch. Two days ago, I posted in another thread that I was sad because I had someone on my friends list who was obviously using cloning to get the new Mystery Box items. I wasn't depressed about them having them, but it somehow seemed unfair or not right for people to simploy decide to make multiples of something as a get rich quick scheme. When I later found two of the new items in boxes, I was overjoyed. I discovered rather profoundly that there is a novelty in having found them on my own. To me, that is where the fun lies. Earning or discovering something as was intended. For the past week and a half since I came to this forum, I have discovered something magical in this place, because there are no discussions of hacking and cloning, no talking of finding loopholes in the game to give someone an unfair advantage. The thing that sets this site apart from most other fan sites I have visited is how people here enjoy the game for what it is, a fun game that gives way to enjoyment, anticipation and that occasional surprise. I know that people can choose to take part in these particular activities, but I find it a lot better when a forum isn't tainted by them. That is what I will take to heart.
