Put away the dictionaries...
If HTC states, scolds, kicks, or bans anyone trying this "glitch" out... then it would be considered "Not Allowed".
The question is not whether it's cheating or not, it's whether HTC would allow it to play, just like in a court room...
Yes it is a glitch that HTC should fix... that's fine - Give them time.
But is it lame? Yes. Is it annoying? Sure is... It may even seem genius to some. In Aces High, I would consider it lame and would never even use this glitch in the game. However, there may be other games I would use such a glitch in, because of the circumstances and the situation.
Aces High II is a respectable community filled mostly with mature players, regardless of age. I would like to keep it this way.
