I assume by "if I can script it" you mean strategy? Every single computer game can be scripted, and most have - including poker, complex MMOs, complex RTS games, etc.
I doubt you'd find many people that'd agree that having a program play the game for you isn't cheating, no matter how boring you might find the game.
Well, perhaps rephrase that to "If I can script it with less effort than it takes to play the game..." Farmville is a case in point - they have shiny stuff like tractors to take the tedium out of playing... :\
How about they write a decent game where I have to make complex decisions in the first place, rather than clicking on buttons over and over? I wrote a fairly involved rant about it a while back: http://blog.oarsum.com/post/255516489/cheating-and-game-desi...
