It is related to Hacking, however, in addition to hacking, Cheating players can use other tactics, including blackmail, bribery, and other means. Due to the legal and otherwise risks associated with the game, it has a reasonably high fatality rate of 27.3%. Cheating athletes are often called "Cheaters". This could actually be cool.
