|A game of Cheat! in the [[Neopedia]] article "Little Timmy".
|}
Are you tired of those goody two shoes games where honesty and fair play are the aim of the game? Don't you just once wish you could cheat and get away with it? Well, now you can. Use all of your skill and cunning to beat your opponents in a breath taking game of Cheat! If you beat the '''3rd, 5th or 7th''' rounds, you also earn a trophy!

It only costs '''50 NP''' per play. So what are you waiting for? Get Cheating!

==How to play==
*To win a round, you have to get rid of all the cards in your hand. Once you beat a round, you can continue to the next highest difficulty.
*On your turn, you can play 1 to 4 cards of the same value. Pick the cards you want to play by clicking on them; then you have to select what you want to tell the other players. It's okay to cheat!
*If someone guesses that you're cheating, you have to take all the cards from the pile and add them to your hand.
*When the computer players take a turn, you can accuse them of cheating (if you think they are!) or you can let them get away with it. If you accuse them and you're wrong, you have to take the pile! But if you're right, then THEY have to take the pile, and you get some neopoints for catching them!

==Hints==
* When you have cards of the number that should be played, play them all. Don't hold back.
* Don't claim to have four of a kind when you don't. Someone will have that other suit or will have just placed it in the pile, so you're likely to be caught.
* Similarly, you know there are only 4 of each number card (one in each suit). So, if another player puts down more than the player could have, that player is cheating. For instance, if another player puts down "3 7s", and you have 2 7s, you know that player is cheating. You should accuse them.

==Your Opponents==
{|
| http://images.neopets.com/games/cheat/1_head.gif || [[Capara]] the Kyrii || Capara uses all her feminine wiles and amazing intelligence to trick her way to the top, however it hasn't worked yet... she is a hopeless cheater and nearly always loses.
|-
| http://images.neopets.com/games/cheat/2_head.gif || [[Little Timmy]] the Tuskaninny || Timmy is very young and inexperienced. He started playing cheat as he thought it would make him look cool... however he is pretty useless at it, to be honest.
|-
| http://images.neopets.com/games/cheat/3_head.gif || [[Branston]] the Eyrie || Branston is the lord of the dance floor, and when he isn't strutting his stuff, he loves to gamble. Self-obsessed and egotistical, Branston's mind tends to wander, so he isn't the best player in the world. He has been known to throw down his cards and leave in a huff in the middle of a game.
|-
| http://images.neopets.com/games/cheat/4_head.gif || [[Chuffer Bob]] the Meerca || Chuffer is a good player, but his voracious appetite often gets the better of him. When he is hungry he can't concentrate, and this leads him to fidget. People like to play against Chuffer Bob because it's easy to know when he is cheating!
|-
| http://images.neopets.com/games/cheat/5_head.gif || [[Brucey B]] || Brucey B is a Bingo caller by nature, but in his nights off he likes to play the odd game of Cheat. Still learning, but by no means a beginner, Brucey will catch you out with the old triple-bluff maneuver. He also tends to hide his cards under the table, so you will not know he has won until the last minute!
|-
| http://images.neopets.com/games/cheat/6_head.gif || [[Kalora]] the Kau || Kalora is on holiday, and has decided to take in a few games of Cheat to earn some money. She considers herself an above-average player, and she knows when to quit! Her left ear sometimes twitches when she is cheating... but then again, you never can tell!
|-
| http://images.neopets.com/games/cheat/7_head.gif || [[Princess Fernypoo]] || Young and spoilt, Princess Fernypoo is not accustomed to losing. Back in her father's castle, anybody who beat her at any game would soon be thrown in the moat. Now the young Acara has left home and does not have her father to protect her any more.
|-
| http://images.neopets.com/games/cheat/8_head.gif || [[Agent 00 Hog]] || Cool, suave, and sophisticated, Agent 00 Hog has nerves of steel, and the ability to hide even the most blatent of cheats beneath a stern poker face. The ladies love him, and he is nearly unbeatable at whatever he chooses to play... do you accept the challenge?
|-
| http://images.neopets.com/games/cheat/9_head.gif || [[Spectre]] || The self-appointed, undisputed ruler of cheat. When his red eyes are staring at you, you can just feel them scanning your every movement... watching every move in your face. If you cheat, he will know, there is no doubt about that. Spectre is a Neopian millionaire, and only ventures out of his mansion when inexperienced players are up for a fleecing.
|}

==Trivia==
*The game is exactly like the real-world game [[Wikipedia:Bullshit (game)|BS]], which is considered a vulgar game to some because of it's title, and is referred to as "I doubt it", "Peanut Butter", and other such tamer titles instead.
*There are 6 [[Book]]s which can be bought in [[Neopets]] featuring the stories of players and their experience with Cheat!.
*The [[Petpet]] [[Pinklet]] is said to give a [[Neopet]] advice on how to cheat at every card game, yet it is not mentioned at all in reference to the game Cheat!.
*[[Brucey B and the Lucky Coin]], the plot with the discovery of the Lost Desert, starred characters from Cheat!, and the game of Cheat! played a large role in the plot.

RJ: thank you

==Yukio's Welcome==
Hello! Welcome to the NeoDex ^_^ Great to have such a vintage Neopian on board :D--[[User:Yukio|Yukio]] 20:48, 6 Apr 2006 (CDT)
*I am honoured to have such an... an esteemed member of the PinkPT community greet one so humble as myself. I've known about PinkPT ever since IDB joined with it: phenominal fansite, really. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 01:51, 7 Apr 2006 (CDT)
lol rubbish. we're all just peoples really :) hope you've found the site helpful, and it really is great having people on board who know a thing or two ^_^ --[[User:Yukio|Yukio]] 21:12, 7 Apr 2006 (CDT)

==about ImproveNeo==
I would like to thank you for being so committed to saying what needed to be said at the [[ImproveNeo]] discussion. You have been very committed to the NeoDex, and have been a great help. I thank you.--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 18:24, 16 Apr 2006 (CDT)
:Thanks, all in the line of duty, as they say :).
:: Ditto, I was impressed at your breadth of knowledge :) Keep it up!--[[User:Yukio|Yukio]] 13:48, 29 May 2006 (CDT)
:Ta very much duck. As they unfortunatly say in the region of my birth ;). I think a Neopets encyclopaedia is an absolutely brilliant idea: it certainly gives opertunity to record the happenings of the extensive - and to some extent, personal - goings on of Neopets.com. We can't let it all be forgotten now, can we? --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 17:48, 29 May 2006 (CDT)

==Knitting Patterns==
And I quote: "Similarly, fan mail, ... '''knitting patterns''', photographs of embroidery, etc, can all be sent to me by use of the aforementioned Talk page." And so... I've found some devilishly charming knitting patterns for you. Might I suggest a lovely [http://web.archive.org/web/20010108034800/www.yarnfwd.com/nessy.html Loch Ness Monster]? Or perhaps a [http://craftbits.com/viewProject.do?projectID=1287 clown]? Then again, the [http://knitty.com/ISSUEwinter05/PATTpocketcreatures.html Toasty Pocket Creatures] are almost impossible to pass up, as is the [http://www.johnnysstew.com/pattern/brainslug.html Stuffed Brain Slug]. I don't know how I'd decide if I were you. Have fun knitting! --[[User:Mirmadon|Mirmadon]] 21:05, 5 Jun 2006 (CDT)
:... *searches for needles* --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 11:02, 7 Jun 2006 (CDT)

==Macbeth on Break==
You will be missed alright. Enjoy your break, and catch up on things. will be awaiting your return. Good luck! *thumbs up* --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 15:44, 24 Jun 2006 (CDT)
:<nowiki>*</nowiki>Licks* Korewa Yukio-kun desu! MacBeth, hayaku genki ni naruyo! --Unsigned by 70.36.213.198 23:52, 13 Jul 2006--
Erm... Thanks. I think... Whatever language that was in, I do not know it :S. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 16:15, 14 Jul 2006 (CDT)

==Sysop Powers Gained==
I have asked Yukio to give you admin powers to help you expand and control the NeoDex a little better. i hope you don't mind i did that. *scratches head* ;) --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 12:36, 18 Aug 2006 (CDT)
:Hey Jacob :). Just got back from a trip to italy. Wow, I have so many tabs now ;P. Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it :). --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 16:37, 24 Aug 2006 (CDT)

==BATTLE OF THE CENTURY...?==
Alright, i'll bite. what's with the battle of the century? It gave me a good laugh, and i'm curious to know what prompted that. :D --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 12:53, 27 Aug 2006 (CDT)
:Well, I can never claim to be ''completely'' normal... :P. Basically, when I saw the new Achyfi on the New Features Page, it reminded me of them (when I had first started, a friend kept on sending me [[Achyfi]] :P) and I realised the Neodex didn't have an article on them. So, I wrote the article, and I was thinking about other lines of items that have enough cultural significance to be written about - this is not, after all, a [http://www.neoitems.net/ database of all items]. As it happens, I have a fairly extensive [[gallery]] devoted to berries, so [[Juppie]]s sprung to mind immediately. After I had started the Juppie page (you will recall I had the ''Achyfi: "Drink of the Gods"'' already on my user page by this time), an idea sort of... Fermented in my mind, based in part [http://www.pinkpt.com/neodex/index.php?title=Template:Funfiller&oldid=6692 the BotD intro] :P. So, a short fiddle around had produced the little display on my user page (which is as good a display as there ever was there, I was getting tired of the "Miss me, won't you?" era anyway :P)... It just sort of escalated :P. Who knows where it's gonna go from here? --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 13:24, 27 Aug 2006 (CDT)
When the Battle of the Dung comes to a close, would you like to try your shot at filling it in with such things? I know you mentioned putting up recipes as well, which i think it pretty neat. seeing as you now have admin powers, you can edit it to your liking (as long as the coding stays within the blue box set there...could be edited to accomadate perhaps). --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 13:48, 27 Aug 2006 (CDT)
:Yeah, I'd love to :¬D. That would be great. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 16:39, 27 Aug 2006 (CDT)

==Framing the Image==
Thanks for framing the image Macbeth ^_^ I was wondering how to do it.--[[User:Yukio|Yukio]] 11:36, 10 Oct 2006 (CDT)
:Not a problem ;). Incidentally, were you the one to start that page off (58.165.59.30)? Whoever it was, they picked up a lot of information very quickly :P. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 11:44, 10 Oct 2006 (CDT)
Yeah it was me :) It was hard keeping the page updated in an HTML file so I thought a dynamic WIKI page would be a lot easier. Over 100 staff positions at PPT @_@ --[[User:58.165.59.30|58.165.59.30]] 17:59, 10 Oct 2006 (CDT)

==Link in template BattleInfo==
If you insert a link in a template, the template just shows things like "Found by: {{{7}}}". That's why I removed the link to the Tiki Tack shop in the article about [[Tiki Tack Man]].--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 02:43, 25 Dec 2006 (CST)
:I figured out what the problem is: The template can't read the "=" symbol, and isn't registering the coding as a proper link. will need to figure out a way to fix this. :o --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 10:13, 25 Dec 2006 (CST)
Ah, I see... Do what you usually do when using special characters in a URL, I suppose. I'll have a look. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 14:08, 25 Dec 2006 (CST)
:Scratch that. Doesn't work. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 14:35, 25 Dec 2006 (CST)
I recently found on the German Wikipedia a solution. You have to put a "7=" before the place where to find the opponent. See [http://www.pinkpt.com/neodex/index.php?title=Tiki_Tack_Man&diff=0&oldid=9737 here].--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 02:23, 7 Jan 2007 (CST)
:Oh, well done... I'll add that into [[NeoDex:Templates]]. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 04:08, 7 Jan 2007 (CST)
Thank you. :) And NeoDex:Templates says you have to use <nowiki>{{TNT}}</nowiki> for the wheels-template, would you change this?--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 05:15, 7 Jan 2007 (CST)
:Wow...good find Himmelsdemon. Now i'm stuck wondering why the "7=" doesn't appear in the link along with the rest of the coding. ''*falls flat on my face*'' --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 07:43, 7 Jan 2007 (CST)
I think it is considered a part of the template. You normally use the BattleInfo as following: '''<nowiki>{{BattleInfo|value1|value2|value3|...|value7}}</nowiki>'''. But you could also write '''<nowiki>{{BattleInfo|1=value1|2=value2|3=value3|...|7=value7}}</nowiki>''' or even

'''<nowiki>{{BattleInfo</nowiki>'''<br>
'''|1=value1<br>'''
'''|2=value2<br>'''
'''|...<br>'''
'''|7=value7}}'''

So it is the same thing like the "Replacement=" in the Infobox RetiredGame.--[[User:Himmelsdemon|Demon]] 10:16, 7 Jan 2007 (CST)
:"And NeoDex:Templates says you have to use <nowiki>{{TNT}}</nowiki> for the wheels-template [...]"

:You're very good at pointing out where the rest of us have fallen on our face! Heh, I'll change it now. You are correct in your interpretation of template variables:

<blockquote>''"Some templates have variables [...] On certain templates, numerical variables are used and the variable name can be omitted, providing the information is entered in the correct order."''</blockquote> --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 10:31, 7 Jan 2007 (CST)

==Thanks==
Thanks for the welcome! --[[User:RJ|RJ]] 13:57, 27 Jan 2007 (CST)

RJ: Hi!

Hi!

On Neopets my ID is julie_lampert.

I also contribute to another wiki on Neopets at http://guilds.wikia.com. It was intended to focus primarily on guilds, but it covers general topics as well. It currently has over 400 articles. Please feel free to visit there. I'd like to hear your suggestions about how the two wiki can cooperate to make both better. I plan to start putting links into this wiki in that one where appropriate. It already has links to PinkPT.
