Here's a revolutionary idea: Commission someone in sitebux/cards/whatever to make a basic testing script that's part of the GM toolkit, then publicly distribute it so everyone has access to it. If people are so concerned about test simming scripts making it too easy then why not give it out to everyone for free so everyone has the ability if they want to.

Now what we're gonna have is a bunch of people fumbling around in the dark until someone stumbles on what works. I wonder how the league will react then? This rule is basically unenforceable unless someone snitches, so how are you going to even ensure people don't test sim? I understand that this frankly draconian and absurd punishment is meant to be enough of a disincentive but if it's hard to even prove people did it how are you supposed to punish them? Is every team that finds success not based on TPE gonna have to be gone over with a fine toothed comb?

The baseline punishment for first offense bigotry and bullying/harassment is 1 week site ban and 3 game suspension
The baseline punishment for first/any offense test simming is basically a yearlong site ban and your player being banned for life, in addition to losing all jobs and half of your bank
Does anyone else find that a little absurd?

Yeah, you can't give someone a 5-season ban based on a hunch/inference so this punishment only occurs if someone admits to test simming, or teammates turn on each other. I don't know how each team tests or decides strats, presumably some GMs test and some other members of the team test so depending on the team there may be between 1 to X number of people who would be aware of it and could provide evidence of one or more members of that group testing. I assume that being aware of other instances of cheating (multi accounts, tampering etc.) and choosing not to report it would be considered misconduct in some capacity, so I'd be curious if there's any punishment or penalty for being aware of test simming taking place and not reporting it?
