Can i play a GUAL on another person. This is a constant arguement between me and my friends.

Yup. It's even in the FAQ:

Q. Can I play Go Up a Level cards on another player – for instance, to make him go up to a level so that a monster that would previously ignore him will now chase him?
A. This is not the original intent of Go Up a Level cards, but it is such a munchkinly and vile idea that we like it too much to say no. So you can play Go Up a Level cards on another player. But just as when playing a Go Up a Level on yourself, the munchkin must legally be able to gain that level. You cannot play a Go Up a Level card, even one with a secondary effect, on a munchkin who has to kill a monster to gain that level.

In terms of strategy, this may be done as part of a trade / deal to help the other munchkin in return for reward.

It also may be useful to do, to make a player losing a fight against a monster that will not pursue him because of his level suddenly worth chasing.

You can also play a GUAL on another player to ensure that you receive all the Charity rather than splitting it with another player.

And I didn't think it was out yet???

I'll ask my question here since it is related.

FAQ says: The general rule is that you may not reach Level 10 except by killing a monster. If you are at Level 9 and something else happens that would normally let you go up a level . . . you don't. You stay at Level 9. If you have a card or an ability that lets you mess with another player and get a level in return, you cannot play that card or use that ability.

I've understand the last sentence includes statement "If you are at Level 9 you cannot play simple GUAL card on itself". Correct me if I'm wrong...

But I also want to know: can I play GUAL on another player which is at Level 9?

You cannot play a GUAL on anyone who is of such a high Level that they must kill a monster to level up further.
