Would this be against the rules?

Would this move be against the rules:
( X is the attacker )
( Y is the defender )

Lets say X player has 50 Forced Labour on his hand; Whereas Y is a mass merchant to the same size as Captain Dungeness

X player casts 10 Forced Labour on player Y at the top of the hour - Giving him gold coins, then using the FoJ trick lights the player up. To then attack him, and claim the gold coins from the Labour?

Would this be classed as milking? Or a strategy?

P.S I realise this is a waste of cards but I have acquired a large sum and just thought of this.

I have also found out another 'Strategy' of which; I have contacted Admin over as players might take advantage of such, and really harm players ( For something that is meant to help players, it can cause grief )

You'll likely make more gc (equivelantly) by selling your cards on the market, as you won't risk the chance of retribution.

[John jacob astor]

definitely a strategy. the only reason it may be cheating is if you had pre-arranged it with the target

[William one eye]

I would say this can be countered. Player Y could potentially be online and if that player realized this was happening they could deposit the money into a bank account. Ruining the plan of player x and pocketing a good sum of money from player x's cards and turns. So I don't believe this should be against the rules. It is a strategic move that has the possibility of failure if not executed properly or just possibly at the incorrect time.

Good thought, I still don't see why you would throw it out in the open for everyone to see. this is an easy way to get a bunch of gold coins, but forced labors auction so high at market, this isn't worth all the turns it takes to get the full payout.

As I will not be using this strategy.

Strategy. You would be using voodoo unconventionally, though it is not breaking any rules.
