''Not'' English.

The word is German.

But the ''meaning'' is to be found on the other side of the pond over in the US of jolly old A.

 As such I won't take the "moral high ground" and tell other players they shouldn't do it "because it is bad" or anything. How can I, when I've done the same thing myself in years gone by? But if a new player is looking for advice, I can say that I personally felt that in so doing I robbed myself of some of the sense of achievement involved. So yeah, I did it, but not this time, and I wouldn't do it again. Your mileage may vary on that, and it's your choice. I don't think that making that cheat impossible would accomplish anything good for the game, and might even cost us some players who might otherwise have had a lot of fun playing.
-(Before someone wonders about Carver, no money cheat there either. But Carver actually has far less in the bank and while he has a "Dangerous" rating, that character has no interest in "being an Elite combateer" as a game goal. It's yet another example of the many ways one can play Oolite.)|Source=([http://www.aegidian.org/bb/viewtopic.php?p=145949#p145949 Ganelon (2011 debate about Über vs Balance)])}}
