Here's A New One - Trading A City As Tech
Just wondering if anyone has heard of this slimy move ?
Some of our CIV3 Play The World League members have discovered a unique and devious way of winning a game.
It turns out it is possible to rename a city to "Construction" then trade the city to an unsuspecting player, who thinks it is a technology. The person that gives up the city loses (it is an elimination game) however his partner in crime and ally has previously surrounded the city "Construction" and on his next turn, he takes the city that the person doesn't even know he had. All the owner of "Construction" receives is "you have suffered a humiliating defeat" and goes huh ?
I think this is exploiting a game default and will be made illegal in our league. Certain city names should be protected by Firaxis to protect against such unscrupulousness players. Just letting others know about this tactic and to ask ... was this something anyone has seen before? Do you think this is fair play ?

Not fair play, but it would've been very funny to try if your playing with friends who can take a joke!

Out of smart minds come smart tactics. Funny to the outsider listening to the story, but painful to the guy who is tricked.

This "trick" is not limited to tech either, you could rename the city "50 Gold" and trade it as well. Buyer beware.

In the other extreme end, a stupid mind would rename a city "Right of Passage Pact", and only the most absent-minded individual would not notice that it is not an incredible "first-time in history" one-sided such pact.

What a funny and evil trick. 
And now I can't help but wonder: Have two people ever tried this evil ploy on each other at the same time?

I suppose it is funny, gave me a giggle, but it is so incredibly low and despicable I would have been ashamed of myself if I had even thought of doing this to another person.
