gollark: > Cheating is a Tuesday Olympic Sport in which participants attempt to get the scoreboard to display a higher score for their team than their opponents' team. 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.
