bah, why would anyone who's paying the subscription fee cheat?

this is probably one of the reasons an API hasn't been released for the site.

Application Programming Interface

An API would allow programmers to write client apps which could interface with the RHP server. I'm not sure but I think only a small set of such services is currently supported by RHP.

I'm not sure what georgiecasey had in mind, but with a complete API, it may become easier to write automated clients that do all the playing without any human intervention. Don't ask me why... 🙂
