a couple of times in games with friends, but it’s not fun so I generally don’t. There was this one board game (like Monopoly) I played with a specific friend as a child and we ALWAYS cheated. Whenever one wasn’t looking the other one would just rob the bank. And it was fairly obvious because all of a sudden we’d have an extra 1,000,000,000 next to the 231,500 that we had last turn. But it was good fun.

I remember playing cards with a boy a couple of years younger than me once, and I always showed him the 6s and 9s upside down whenever it suited me and he bought it hehe ;)

But I don’t remember cheating in the last 25 years or so…

@Jack79 lol, I did that monopoly thing a few years ago with my mates. I sat on the money though, so they didn’t see me get anymore, and when I spent some, I just gradually took money out form under my ass to replace it.

I’ve been known to do a glitch or two but only when playing bratty kids in online games. Nothing makesme glitch more than suburban, white kid Ebonics.

Mmmm… pretty much only when playing Bullshit. And all I get is more opportunity to drink.

I cheat at single player console games occasionally with cheat codes, but mostly just to speed up a game. I hacked mario cart for the DS just to see if I could do it.

But if you cheat and win money or a prize, well that’s called fraud and the best you can hope for there is an ass whoopin.

My family has a system for cheating with Monopoly. Seriously. I can’t play with other people any more because I do it by default now.

We also put the cheat code into Rock Band so that all the songs are available for all instruments.

Once in 7th grade, but now I realize the teachers MUST’VE known that I was doing the other girl’s test…

Once during an on-line test, I discussed the answers with someone else – and in reality, we both learned a lot more doing it that way, because we had to explain the answers, and come to a consensus on them.

I survived many tests in high school and college that I did not study by cheating, and I don’t feel bad about it. But, at sports or games I never cheat and hate when people do.
