The fine art of cheating. (Found on another site.) Here are five tried and trusted ways of cheating. When you just need that little bit of extra help...

1. Unplugged. Pull out an opponents controller at crucial moments by slightly dislodging the cord from the port. Make it look like it was an accident because he was pulling on it to hard.
2. Rig drinks. Tampering with opponents drinks will put them off their game. Some tobasco in their diet coke should do the trick...
3. Nudge, nudge. Elbowing is an extremely dirty tactic, but extremely effective. Just blame it on that muscle spasm...
4. Who you gonna call? Set your mobile to their number and then make the phone go off at a critical part of the game. Works every time.
5. Trash talk. Plenty of banter never goes amiss. Aside from insulting their family, try game specific terms of abuse e.g. soccer. Blame the computer for a goal that the computer accidently did, even though you know that it was your own fault.

Nice start ^^ but I'm sure we can make a bigger list ^^ who's up to the challenge!!

Hell yeah!!

hmm

ahh

How about getting a family member in on the deal as a different sort of distraction

say a sibling to come in and bug the bejeebus out of your friend so you can be all sly

How about..scoreing when your opponent goes to the bathroom

nice one

setting loose a rambunctious pet so said pet is all over your friend

How about the ever classic, "DUDE! YOUR HAIR IS ON FIRE!"

...........Wait, that's not so classic. >_>; Bt the "Holy shit, my sister's naked!?" works on your male friends.

Also the, "I think my sister's in with her lesbian lover right now" should also work to keep their brain on anything BUT the game. >_>; X3;

^^; ouch, both of those would be distracting, yes

and nice sig there Deis
