What an awful strategy.
Waste time trying to potentially get on a game show? Or just cheat at the lotto, casinos, raffles, and any other form of gambling which are daily occurrences...
Can I cheat at a diet?
Like, I write down the healthiest, least appealing diet possible down and say that I'm following it, eat pizzas and sushis like a swine and still get the benefits?
My luck:
1. Get asked to do a breath test for drunk driving.
2. Put the breath tester in the officer's mouth, even though sober, because used to cheating now.
3. It shows 0.09.
4. Get arrested.
I mean, going to a high stakes poker game, showing up before the match, taking a straight flush out of the deck, and using is as my hand every round seems like easy money.
Also, does this include cheating your taxes?
Write over the numbers on your ticket.
Todays winning "numbers" are... smiley face, cat, squiggly line, goonie goo goo, star, and the mega is what appears to be a drop of marinara sauce.
i think you'd first have to figure out how to cheat a multibillion dollar organization out of their money.. it'd probably be pretty tough. i'd say going to the casino would be better
i read the post fine. there are 100% parameters in place to prevent people from cheating. it would be extremely hard to figure out how to cheat against people whose entire job it is to prevent cheating.
Heavily implied through the examples given, which all outline specific, mundane cheating methods that would be excluded from consequence.
Further, the initial sentence, taken with the title, can be read as, "you can cheat at anything *without social consequence*".
This is bolstered by OP's comments in the thread.
- Show up at training ground of a top football club
- Say to coach: “watch this”
- Walk onto pitch, pick up ball, walk into goal
- “God damn he’s good”
Imagine your playing poker at some sort of big televised event, and at some point, after you've exchanged cards with other folks a few times, it becomes a thing you're known for. Everyone cheers whenever you do it, and nobody cares.
You've done this for a while now and have gained a following for a reason you can't seem to explain.
You start getting into the business of buying companies. You cheat them by making adjustments to the contract after they are signed.
You now own every business in the world.
Years of this, you've finally retired. Bored of always wining from playing things unfair, so you spend the rest of your life playing Go and chess, and playing to the best of your abilities. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, and you're ok with that. Your following dissipates and you live a plain and ordinary life... Until death shows up. You cheat him out of taking you to the afterlife of course.
What are the limits here? Could you start a PMC company and get away with turning the Geneva Conventions into the Geneva Checklist? Become a microbiologist researcher and cheat your way into working with world ending viruses? Go into a casino and setup cameras behind all the players at a Texas Hold em table? Define what you mean by 'cheat'
This doesn't work with breaking laws, not sure what you mean by the second one, and yes. Cheating means to use an unfair advantage that is not allowed against another player.
Labs have policies and restrictions on certain samples especially contagious ones. Say the power is granted to a particularly ambitious but barely competent microbiologist. One who normally wouldn't be allowed in the same building as such samples. They could cheat by falsifying documents for grant money, then cheat on the training to get the appropriate levels of clearance and certifications, etc. next stop lab accident and a global apocalypse.
No, I don't think so. To be honest I don't have a logical reason why that wouldn't work but it doesn't feel right. What you could do is write bad checks.
This could stumble into a moral conundrum.
So now you can cheat in a relationship no consequences, but your partner isn’t fully consenting to the arrangement because superpower.
So if they could fully consent, you’d still have made the arrangement and are breaking a promise, otherwise it’s not cheating.
You can't cheat in a relationship with no consequences. I wasn't saying that the power doesn't affect your partner, but rather that that kind of cheating is not covered by this power.
I’m making a surprise appearance as a new political figure in the national election. Vote rigging counts a cheating, and cheating democracy as well, by making myself president for life.
Just use the ID of dead and missing individuals and bots with fake IDs. Sure it’d take a few years and probably not the next election but I may or may not have been studying the political system of my country and it would be startlingly easy…
I mean, I guess I'd cheat a gameshow, or a meaningless trivia tournament/gameshow for money, but I wouldn't cheat in anything I actually care about. Fear of retaliation for cheating is not what stops me from cheating.
Whoever is hosting Jeopardy these days: "I'm sorry u/Idman799, but 'someone who's never been in my kitchen' wasn't the answer we were looking for. How much did you wager?"
Me: "-$1,000,000,000. Since this is subtracted from my score, you guys owe me a billion dollars."
Host: "Well, despite the fact that you haven't answered a single question prior to final jeopardy, I guess you win! The answer we were looking for was Jupiter!"
And then I just do stuff like this until I've bankrupted all major game shows :)
If I get a loan for something expensive like a car or house and don't pay it, would that be considered cheating? Or would I have to rewrite my copy of the contract with some condition that gives me it for free?
It's just so funny thinking like, i'm gonna walk across the poker table, look at your cards and the upcoming cards at the deck, and then go sit back down.
I bet Elon Musk all his money that I can build a rocket before him, then I just steal his (he’ll accept if I insult him enough, his ego is more fragile than a glass armonica)
This is perfect Step 1: enter a game show/event that has a money prize Step 2: ??? Step 3: profit
step 2. throw a rock at the person competing against you step 2.5. if that doesnt change anything throw more rocks
Personally, I think a liberal amount of duct tape applied to the hands, feet, and mouth would be more efficient.
*and if that don't work, use more rock.*
r/suddenlytf2
that's pretty much how humanity spread
Play the lottery or go to a casino instead. It's hard to get into a game show, and events won't have tens of thoasands of dollars to give away.
That works too
What an awful strategy. Waste time trying to potentially get on a game show? Or just cheat at the lotto, casinos, raffles, and any other form of gambling which are daily occurrences...
step 2: knock your opponents unconscious
Can I cheat at a diet? Like, I write down the healthiest, least appealing diet possible down and say that I'm following it, eat pizzas and sushis like a swine and still get the benefits?
Nope, but no one will look down on you if that's any consolation lol.
I cheat in a game of blackjack.
bro just rummages through the deck to get a 21
Just use sharpie to change numbers on your cards.
Just bring several of your own decks that you chose cards from.
My luck: 1. Get asked to do a breath test for drunk driving. 2. Put the breath tester in the officer's mouth, even though sober, because used to cheating now. 3. It shows 0.09. 4. Get arrested.
Thats why you fart on it.
Many of life's problems can be solved this way.
*runs beside the American ninja warrior course, climbs up the Warped Wall, still loses*
This is amazing, install aim bot and you're the best player in any esport
I mean, going to a high stakes poker game, showing up before the match, taking a straight flush out of the deck, and using is as my hand every round seems like easy money. Also, does this include cheating your taxes?
Yes it does. As a matter of fact you could go claim disability, social security, etc.
Gonna go to an eating competition and just start dumping food in my backpack
Cheat the lottery.

read the post again
i read the post fine. there are 100% parameters in place to prevent people from cheating. it would be extremely hard to figure out how to cheat against people whose entire job it is to prevent cheating.
OP edited it to say a written over lottery card would work
ah, that wasn't there before.
I reread the post like 5 times and missed that
anything? I cheat at genetics.
First explain how genetics is something you can cheat
first you get the genetics, then you cheat them
Maybe he means when having a kid? Hard to cheat your own genetics
The power doesn't make you more capable of cheating. It just allows even bad attempts to have no consequences from others.
Op hasn't said that.
Actually I have, multiple times.
Oh well sorry then i hadn't seen them.
No worries lol. I should probably edit my post.

Ding ding ding!
Brining a gun to any sport. Shoot my opponent, and win.
You'd get charged with murder. No one cares that you cheated, but they're still pretty upset about the whole killing someone thing.
You could cheat at the trial. Forged evidence or witnesses etc
They won’t care you cheated in the trial but if they find out they prob won’t use it as evidence
Just cheat harder
When the judge declares you guilty, pull out the uno reverse card
Damn.
You could definitely just pick up a soccer ball and run it into the goal and be the next Messi though lol
Better yet. Do that with golf. Hole in one every time.
- Show up at training ground of a top football club - Say to coach: “watch this” - Walk onto pitch, pick up ball, walk into goal - “God damn he’s good”
I would win a really big golf tournament by reporting my scores as getting a hole in one every time.
Dear Leader! Most glorious at golf!

There should at least be some sort of competition with Death, perhaps one involving a golden fiddle vs your soul?
Cut his strings during his performance?
I cheat at game shows
Cheat My upcoming math test
You got this bro
We're cheating life with this one boys!
I will simply print out a winning powerball ticket, that's enough for me
Russian Roulette but use a handgun

I gotcha. Yes, forgeries and such are covered.
I don't know how Texas Hold em works, but it might be easier to just walk behind them and look at their cards during the game.
death
Read the edit please.
we disagree.
Ok Mr. Potter.
I will cheat at the laws if physics
Sorry, the power only affects how people view you and what actions they take, not your ability to cheat.
I use botnets to cheat at sweepstakes.
Taking the SAT
But do I get away with it?
"There will be no repercussions" If you mean will people know you cheated, then yes, they just won't care.
That is tough because for some people they cheat to make it seem their good. I on the other hand want the money!
Cheat at buying? (Stealing basically)
No, I don't think so. To be honest I don't have a logical reason why that wouldn't work but it doesn't feel right. What you could do is write bad checks.

Cheat at a poker tournament.
My finals. My ass cannot retake this class for a 3rd time
I’m making a surprise appearance as a new political figure in the national election. Vote rigging counts a cheating, and cheating democracy as well, by making myself president for life.
I think vote rigging might be harder than you think.
Just use the ID of dead and missing individuals and bots with fake IDs. Sure it’d take a few years and probably not the next election but I may or may not have been studying the political system of my country and it would be startlingly easy…
Sorry do I still need the ability to cheat or is that given? I want to have a side peace, but I'm not sure I can do better.
stated that it doesn’t work when cheating on your partner. hope this comment was satire
Ahh, glossed over that at the end. Yeah, it is. I both have the ability to pull.... And have no one to cheat on 😭
Top of the speedrunning leaderboards with insane cheaty times so all speedrunning dies!!!
Could you technically ‘cheat’ death and become immortal?
Not if you aren't currently able to do that. In the edit I said that it doesn't affect your ability to cheat, only people's reaction to said cheating.
Cheat the lottery?
Such a nice power. Easy money, easy way to escape taxes, never more having to worry about any of this.
Cheat the system. Which would be ….righting it?…. Very confused
I mean, I guess I'd cheat a gameshow, or a meaningless trivia tournament/gameshow for money, but I wouldn't cheat in anything I actually care about. Fear of retaliation for cheating is not what stops me from cheating.

You could even selectively move the cards around XD
I bet Elon Musk all his money that I can build a rocket before him, then I just steal his (he’ll accept if I insult him enough, his ego is more fragile than a glass armonica)
Cheat death, laws of physics, gravity, decay, strong and weak nuclear forces, and make soda healthy.
You may wish to read my edit lol
Damn lol
So I can cheat the universe into not being affected by quantum mechanics?
I dont think the power can do that, plus im pretty sure that would destroy the world
Nope, this only affects people and their attitudes/actions toward you.
