How do you cheat?

There are a few ways to cheat, but the one that's bothering me right now is people spoofing their GPS, so that the game will think they're somewhere they're not. People can do that to bounce all over the world and collect Pokemon that are only available in certain places, or (most annoying right now) take over a gym when they're not actually there. There are several accounts that seem to be working together, that are at levels that are practically impossible unless you've literally been playing 24 hours a day (which you can do, if you've got a computer playing for you), who've taken over all three gyms in my neighborhood. One of them, six different people placed their Pokemon in the gym while I was sitting right there, and I was absolutely the only person on a phone within the area that you can reach the gym from. Several other people from my neighborhood have been complaining about the same thing in all the other gyms around here, in a local Pokemon group on Facebook. And it makes it impossible for the rest of us to play -- these accounts have levels so high that it takes forever for people who are playing for real to battle them out of the gyms.

This is going to be like the new Where's Waldo, isn't it? [link]

Thing I said to coworker today: "Would you please let me finish answering your first question before you ask another? Having another question piled on top of the first creates anxiety for me."

Thing I did not say: "Especially since your second question was the same as the first, and you were not satisfied with the answer that I had not yet finished giving you, and you were not planning on taking my advice anyway."

Yes. I hope they max out, get bored,and go back to FPSs in their parents' basements soon.

I wonder what they get out of it. It sounds like a lot of effort, like somebody is making money somehow.

I woke up with a headache and an elevated temperature so I am taking a sick day. Tylenol and an orange has helped a bit, considering adding ibuprofen to the mix before I go back to bed.

Timelies all!

Am keeping the little guy home for a few days(he has a followup appointment tomorrow) and he is busy getting into everything.Other than some congestion, he seems to be fine.
