    Sorry, I have to say that a cheat and a dirty trick are one and the same.

    When you send the friend request at the last moment, you are cheating this person out of a legitimate auction that should be fair to everyone.

    You say this is a dirty trick and not cheating? How is this not cheating? If one did this "dirty trick", would they not be keeping the other person from making a legitimate offer by using any means possible, in this case, a friend request? This is plain and simple cheating.

    Next you are going to tell me that a BJ from Monica Lewinsky was not cheating on Hillary Clinton? I am sure there is a dirty trick joke in there somewhere, but we are not talking about a dress, we are talking about an auction.

    a dictionary definition does not suffice in this case. Because there is no written rule does not mean there is no moral/ethical or unwritten rule.

    You are preventing someone from bidding in an auction. How is that NOT cheating??? Using an exploit in a game is cheating. It doesnt get more obvious.

    I have played many a computer game and have seen many "cheats" for many games. They are not illegal or against the rules, as they dont put in the game rulebook to "not cheat". It is clearly an unwritten and understood rule. BUT it is available for all to do, just put in the code and you are invulnerable or infinity ammo...whatever.

    Just dont try to justify behaviour like this as a dirty trick and not cheating.

    All that to say, it is cheating...but I like that instead of spending 30 tokens in a bidding war with some retard that bid multiple times every round......
