Holy crapola... I was playing geos and got this message:
I made an upside down hat, like this, the last piece I put in was the top center piece, which is highlighted:
I'm really mad! This is totally, stupid! I don't cheat! How can you even cheat when there are NO FREAKING RULES POSTED FOR THIS GAME and now I have a 'cheater' flag on my account.

Of coarse you are cheating! You are trying to make a SQUARE and a TRIANGLE with the same pieces. Each shape must be unique pieces unto itself. No worries about the whole cheating bit. It's info we all had to learn by trying. Luckily I was playing against a friend when I got my error messager and not during tourney.

Okay I'll accept that. They should post some frelling rules, though.
I prefer to think of it as 'efficient use of squares' and not cheating, however I sure as hell won't do it in the future. Actually, I think I'm going to stop playing the multiplayer games each month, they have brought nothing but aggrivation and frustration on a monthly basis.
Like that other monthly aggrivation, but there's nothing you can take for it.

i don't think that's cheating. cheating would be like... hacking the script so that you can move 10 times in a row. something like what was done (the 'hat') is more like trying to use a loophole, and neopets should have thought of it, and tried to close that loophole long ago. maybe a prompt that asks "do you want to place the square or the triangle?" would be appropriate, but instead it probably reports back an error to the server and then flags for cheating.
the rules are simple, you place one piece a turn and try to make your shapes. it doesn't say "if you try to make two shapes at one time you will forfeit and go back to level 0"
