Cheating

Dear Andy,

Please can I bring to your attention.

davidclonan9 on Little Upsilon, and Prince Greg on White Giant are the same person.

He is multi-accounting, i.e. cheating which is against the rules.

Check their IP addresses.

Even if that was true, it would only be a clear violation if either player was on both worlds. Otherwise, it's a grey area and Andy is not going to give a fuck. He's not going to care even if they were on both worlds as long as they weren't working together to cause havoc.

I think anybody cares unless you can demonstrate that an unfair advantage is being gained.

Ok Karen.

You should just declare war on this individual or move on.

Also Prince Greg is on:

Prince Greg
Solace Fort
Kebir Blue

Prince Greg
Unotto
Golden Rainbow

One of his accounts needs removing and this player should be banned for life!

Jack,

when you say that the two are the same player, you need to provide some more reasoning.
just saying so is not enough.

the IP number is not the same, but that does not mean it is not the same person.

then, you show that Price Greg has countries on both Kebir Blue and Golden rainbow.

A player can have countries on all worlds.
these two countries you showed, are part of the same account.
I think that this player has also countries on other worlds. All in the same account.

In general, we do not remove anyone easily.
They need to break the rules in a grand way, and even then, the question is if they really cheated or they found some errors.

Out of curiosity, can anyone name a player that has been banned?

There was a player banned from the forum for conduct. Tom closed down several accounts belonging to "Faith" but I don't think he was actually banned

We did ban players.
Some threats just went too far...
Luckily not many but sometimes there was no other choice.

More often, we banned players from the forum when we found very offensive texts.

also this did not happen very often.

The one I remember best was a player who built military units.
at the time, you could ask for large numbers of units to be built from scratch.
It was stupid of us to allow this, and after that event, we fixed it.
now you can build them one for one.

The player did not realize what the cost is of a large number of units.
he completely FLIPPED and accused us of stealing his money.
showed numbers of the decline in cash (600B or so), and continued with an unbelievable barrage of texts nobody would want to experience.
It included promises to destroy everything.

no explanations could help.
we tried to reason but nothing helped. He just wrote, never r

I'm fine with players being banned from the forum and the game.

I was trying to recall any banned players, but I could only remember people getting banned from the Forum.

My recollection from the whole Faith (Fayth?) thing is the same as yours, Yankee: Matt kept his account, and the sockpuppets were deleted. I didn't follow it closely at the time.

When I played through 2020-2023 I didn't notice too many players getting banned. Some loser named Lee ended up saying he'd kill a few of us IRL and would go on anti sematic rants quasi-regularly. EO had to handle him eventually, but the twerp would always comeback. Not aware if he ever got banned.

I think Andy wiped some of his alt accounts at some point, but it was bordering on abusive.

There was also some guy named 'demolayjonpaul' that used to spam alt accounts for forum PvP.

@Laguna what Matt are you talking about?

Matt was Faith. His family supposedly owned a food distribution company in the U.K.

It's funny to ask which Matt, because there were quite a few of them at time.

I asked because -I- was a Matt that played not too long ago and at least during my tenure did not meet another. I like hearing about game history, have not seen too many players banned from the game.
