Hm. Methinks you can "Exploit a bug" and call it cheating :P
But usually when you take advantage of a good situation, that situation
was not intended by the designers. Actually talking about really good
situation, like where you find bronze stuff on decaying skel or
somesuch. And I'd call that cheating and exploiting.

Hm, guess I don't really differentiate. Give an example where exploiting
is not cheating...
