Poll: What do you call split screen cheating?

[Sir Thomas Sean Connery]

Winning.

Seriously. Use whatever is available to crush your opponent.

I have never really seen it as cheating since both people have an equal advantage.

 

[Kair]

We call it ghosting because of the similarities.

 

[MasterV]

Screen Looking, and I never considered it as cheating. I haven'tmet one person who's notdoing it. It's actually something that I enjoy about split-screen, when you know the others know what you're going to do, you have to play extra better (sic) to outsmart them.

Why is it cheating? Cheating implies an unfair advantage. If both players can look at both screens then neither one can really be "cheating". Split screen cheating is when you're playing a racing game with a friend and kicking them from behind to put them off.

I call it screen watching, and I hate it. <.<

 

[The Almighty Aardvark]

Screen Peeking for me. Screen looking doesn't roll off the tongue as well.

The weirdest I've heard is screen hacking. That just sounds dumb...

 

[Jackalb]

Screen watching

 

[No_Remainders]

Screen Watching.

Why would it be anything else?

 

[Andrew_Mac]

In my house and my town among my friends we call it screen peeping. And if anyone gets caught doing it, everyone else gangs up on them, even if they happen to be on your team.


(P.S. I have just passed my driving theory test!!!! Just thought I'd share that with the group.)

 

[rabidmidget]

I always called it screen-cheating.

 

[XHolySmokesX]

Normally something along the lines of "stop lookin at my screen you dick"

It gets propper annoying sometimes cos my mate is a veteran screen looker and i always get killed from absolutely nowhere when playing split screen with him. bastard...

 

[JoJo]

It's called screen watching. No other correct name for it.

This, I can't believe that option was left off the poll had to vote other

 

[Mr. Gency]

I call it screen checking. You'd just check up on your foes.

 

[Notsomuch]

Screen-peeking is an important meta-game aspect of the split screen fps. Those who don't utilize the ability to look at their opponents screen are crippling themselves and missing out on a very good opportunity to Troll their friends.

Guy 1: You are totally looking at my screen!?
Guy 2: Problem?

I equate screen peeking to forming a strong deck for competitions when it comes to card games, The composition of your armies for Warhammer 40K, as well as hundreds of other things that I can copy paste from the Tvtropes entry on Meta-gaming.

Screen Watching, I just like the way the word watching makes it seem to be a much more insidious crime.

I remember my friend once had to resort to putting an ironing board up between the screens to stop another guy screen watching, haha so I suppose you could call it iron defying!

'grallu filtbasis' is the captcha's suggestion.

 

[Jonluw]

Ghosting.

If I were to choose any of the poll options, I'd have to say 'screen cheating' though.

 

[Timmey]

Screen Peeking for me since Golden eye, dono why though, just sounds right
