[Discuss] Changing the definition of cheating

I like this idea, especially as a new player.  Every so often, something 
will pop up here (i.e. the capital movement issue) which I thought would 
have been perfectly fine, and I hear that it was considered abuse.  
(shakes head) Very confusing. 

However, just because it's not defined as cheating, doesn't mean there 
can't be IG repercussions for it.  Let's take the capital move.  So, 
let's say it's not cheating now, and we have the same situation.  There 
are no OOC issues, but IG, some realms might go "This is extremely 
dishonorable, we will side with your enemies in order to punish such 
unnoble behavior."

Obviously, not everyone will do this, but it opens up politics as being 
more important.  Negotiations with other rulers to the effect of, "What 
will you do if we try this?", risking them warning your intended victim, 
or going in blind and risking several war declarations.
