No no, this is an interesting question.
I have the same question in mind, when I was a clan leader. May I inform one of my clan members that his opponents time has ran out? If I do, and he decides to skull him out, then he get a win and a rating rise, and my clan perhaps win the challenge. Fair? Cheating? Indeed an interesting question.
Or when I am about to win a tournament if, and only if, another game rends one player the win and I see that his opponents time has ran out. May I tell him? Same question - fair or cheating?
I say you interfere with another game, helping one part to win. But my clans win is of higher priority than an individual game, so perhaps we should collaborate within the clan, helping each other out. Within TOS of course.
Therefore - tipping a time out, is that within TOS and fair? Or outside TOS and therefore cheating?

I've never done that, but I didn't know.

I have wondered the same thing.

no advice.
A player or an arbiter are the only people allowed to claim a flag fall. Anyone else is "interfering"

Originally posted by Dutch DefenseAhem, I have to believe that advising someone that they can time their opponent out constitues advice. Nudge, nudge.

Originally posted by SupermanRight....no advice can be given on a game in progress, so it's cheating. Barely.
