Is he cheating?

I'm not sure if it's allowed, but in my opinion a player is cheating and abusing a game mechanic. What he's doing is sending 6 offers to every player in the game. 6 Right of way offers and is asking for all 5 types of resources and cash. In his own words, 90% of players fall for this thinking he's GIVING resources away. But actually, he is ASKING for resources in exchange for the right of way. Now imagine the amount of resources this guy "steals" per game and the advantage he gets? Also, he's abusing the mechanic, where you can accept "right of way" 6 times in a row. You shouldn't be able to accept the same deal 6 times over.

He is just abusing the inexperienced players.

Seems to be an interesting but dirty way of playing.

Probably only works against new players.

You'll probably need some luck tho if you want to gain a major resource advantage in a game with that strategy.

Have never done it myself, maybe I should try it in at least one game.

Before trying it, you have to consider the cons.

As you can see, the majority of players consider this an underhanded and borderline illegal tactic. Using tactics like that, it will be easy for players who don't fall for it to unite against you because they feel insulted. In the early game, do you really want to find yourself in a situation where the world is uniting against you? Diplomacy is an important aspect of the game and you may find it hard to get allies.

If you want to do it, do it to players across the world from you, otherwise they might get mad and invade you.

I personally won't do it. I feel it will discourage noobs and maybe make them quit.
