Evil Nun Cheat

[Llanque Mazurek]

Justlike in almost every other retro-fps game, Amid Evil has cheat codes. Most of them are written in the game's codex while others can be found either by trying random words or asking people who know[1]. To use them you must type the command while playing the game (does not work when in menu or dead). The screen will flash and (in some cases) a purple message will appear on top, indicating that the cheat code worked.

That was, until a year into college, when my boyfriend discovered the nuclear option: he cheated. He did so in a notably humiliating way (he moved in with another woman while I was visiting my grandparents in Florida, leaving me to discover this on my own), but looking back now, we were just immature. We had both tried to turn plenty of small fights into breakups, but in the end, it was only by cheating that he was finally able to cut the tie (yes, I tried to make him get back together with me; thank god it didn't work).

This thinking worked fine for a while, until I found myself on the other end of the equation: I got involved in an extremely tempestuous relationship six or seven years later with a man who, depending on the day, I thought was either my soulmate or my karmic punishment for every horrible thing I had done in my life. We adored each other; we also had constant brutal fights that built into furious, noisy hurricanes, with me screaming myself hoarse and him giving me the silent treatment.

I had no idea what to do. I felt like we had merged completely. I had no separate self left. The idea of just dumping him, the way you'd end a normal relationship, seemed as realistic as cutting off your arm and throwing it in a ditch because it was too itchy. I thought I'd die without him, and I also thought there was a pretty decent chance I'd die with him. I felt paralyzed.

And so, when I met a handsome man at an art gallery opening who didn't seem deterred when he found out I had a boyfriend, I suddenly knew what my ex had felt. It was simpler to be the villain than to try to flay open the body of our relationship and try to explain how it had grown sick and died. It would be easier to just accept my boyfriend's hatred than to live through the pain of discussing how unhappy our relationship made me, and potentially hearing about how unhappy I made him.

Unlike my past boyfriend, I didn't use my brief affair as "the nuclear option," but I did use the sense of separation that the affair gave me to eventually end things. Breaking up with him was exactly as messy and difficult as I had imagined it would be, but my affair served as ballast, reminding me that I had a separate self, that my boyfriend wasn't in charge of every single thing in my life. If I had been healthier at the time, I could have gotten that sense from taking up a hobby or by meeting new friends. I would never argue that cheating is a choice that a healthy person makes. But it is not only a choice that an evil person makes.

In an ideal world, we'd all know how to talk about our feelings, and we wouldn't see all-enveloping, sometimes-suffocating love as the only romantic ideal worth reaching for. But this is the world we live in, and people aren't perfect. Not all people who have ever cheated are "cheaters," monsters who have descended upon our world to wreak havoc with their loose morals and thrilling genitals. I'm not saying that you have to respect my reasons for cheating, or the reasons of any other past, present, or future cheater. But you should know that we have them.

But there are others who are not super strict day to day but rather probably eat healthy 80% of the time. They choose whole grains and lean meats and healthier options in general. They might not eat cookies in the break room most of the time, but enjoy a few chocolate chip on cheat days.

Difficult to say. Three years ago I started my losing weight adventure. A lot of things changed. In last couple of months I decided that cheating days are not good for me and for my body. I felt really bad the day after cheating day. I think it it very personal and everybody should listen to their body. Your body will tell you what is good for you. To cheat, or not to cheat. As I said, I realized that cheating days do not work for me.

i dont call them cheat days, but i tend to be way more lax with my diet on the weekends. i eat a pretty regimented diet during the week- mostly b/c i pack food for work and bringing the same things over and over again is easier. but on the weekends i tend to branch out more and eat things i wouldnt during the week. i also run a lot more on the weekends too so i think it all balances out pretty well.

Shame you obviously have issues that you need to put others down to make yourself feel better. If you feel this awful reading this blog maybe dont read it? Have you sought help for your issues? #therapymayhelpyou

Cheating on tests has long been a bastion of low technology--the quick glance to the side, micro-handwriting on the thigh, coded Band-Aids and complex signaling with crossed and uncrossed legs. But as the stakes have increased with large-scale assessment testing, the need for higher scores has transformed the playing field.

Reagan, of course, was thinking of the powerlessness of Communist governments to stop the flow of information from the West. But his statement could just as easily be taken as a manifesto of the modern cheater. Answers are the oxygen of the modern age, blowing through packed and impersonal examination halls with ease.

Since the earliest days of the high-tech revolution, cheaters have used programmable calculators to store notes and formulas. More recently, a new generation of students has discovered the wonders of grabbing term papers off the Internet from such sites as School Sucks, IvyEssays.com and the Evil House of Cheat.

The number of high-tech cheating cases is small, but the cases that have surfaced show few limits to the expense or discomfort that cheaters are prepared to endure for a good test score. In one case in Thailand, 75 students were caught trying to cheat on an army college entrance exam by using a radio receiver stuffed in their underwear. The students, who were vying with 10,000 others for 400 openings, had each paid $2,000 to participate in the unsuccessful scheme.

The transgressions of the Thai students seem downright petty compared to the case of 81,000 Nigerian students who were caught cheating on a university entrance exam in 1997, and the disqualification of all 10,000 students who took the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) in China in 1992.

What all the evidence suggests--the use of ever more sophisticated technology and the instances of mass cheating--is a fundamental change of the human condition: The very perception of cheating as sin has begun to drop into the same moral gray zone as infidelity, tax evasion, recreational drug use and a host of other activities that once grimly stood at the gates of hell.

Since World War II, college enrollment has grown sevenfold to about 15 million students today. In the process, higher education has transformed itself from an elite experience to one that is edging closer to becoming the norm. In 1940, less than 6% of the country had attended college. Today, that figure stands at close to a third of the population. Large-scale standardized tests have allowed students to not only be processed and assessed by the millions, but also to be compared and judged against each other as if they were in a beauty contest.

The idea of academic community hinges on the sense of a common journey among kindred souls. But much of higher education has become a competitive nightmare. Parental pressures, the enormous cost of higher education, and the varying cultural perceptions of what exactly counts as cheating have helped cast an ethically gray hue over the issue.

The test sparked a degree of controversy because of disputes over its racial and ethnic biases and its somewhat alarming finding that the average mental age of a U.S. soldier was between 13 and 14. But it was largely perceived as a success, at least in its ability to efficiently evaluate large numbers of subjects. By 1926, the College Board adopted the Alpha test model and created the Scholastic Aptitude Test.

Over the years, large-scale assessment testing moved downward into lower grades and upward into the realms of professional certification. Testing is a modern ritual, a rite of passage to each succeeding level of life in complex and crowded societies. In many ways, these large-scale tests have created both the incentive and the means to cheat.

One of the most notorious cases involved a bicoastal scheme that exploited the three-hour time difference between New York and Los Angeles to provide test-takers with answers to the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT), a requirement for most business schools. The cheating ring, which operated from 1993 to 1996, provided answers not only for the GMAT, but also the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) and the TOEFL for up to $9,000 per student.

Of the 2 million people who take the Scholastic Assessment Test each year (the name of the test was changed from Scholastic Aptitude Test [SAT] in 1994), the Educational Testing Service, which administers the test, reports that it investigates just .1% to .2% of scores--about 2,000 to 4,000 people.

The testing companies have responded to the threats with their own high- and low-tech measures, such as offering different versions of a test and using computers to search for unusual similarities between completed tests and abnormally high improvements in scores.
