Comments re two recent games / Secret alliance:
These two players joining two of trips/assassin games on the New World map I had set up. In Game 3910485 it seems pretty obvious to me that they had no intention to play a standard game, DomQuebec just handing over the victory to Suzy. DomQuebec was my target (consequently Suzy was his), despite that DomQuebec goes on attacking me in Round 2. Fair enough, to weaken your assassin is a perfectly good and (if you think you can hold your own) many times a game-winning strategy in 3-player assassin games. No attacks against Suzy though. Then in round 4, Suzy attacks me (me being his/hers target), grabbing my second territory. Now I’m down to France/French Landing Point. DomQuebec now sits on 40+ troops on Inuit Homeland. All he has to do is to walk in, block North Atlantic Port to keep me (already weaken) away from being killed, then using his (by this time) overwhelming stacks of troops to kill of his target Suzy. So what the hell does he do? Nothing. Just sits there allowing Suzy to easily kill me in round 6. Ridiculous.
Then they even it out by allowing DomQuebec to win in Game 3910482. That game in itself is so-and-so. But considering the previous game and considering that Suzy just sat on two of his/her three territories (Portugal/Britain) it is shady. These two (or one) fellas for sure had a secret alliance spanning over two games which is a violation of Rule # 2.
Comments re DomQuebec and Suzy / Should at least be blocked:
All in all, this would have passed by had it not been for their gaming history. Had they been unknown or new players, it could very well just have been a bad move or two. But DomQuebec and Suzy has 100+ games together, most of them team games. They for sure should not join up in a three-player assassin game or any other standard game as they clearly cannot play fairly vis-Ã -vis third parties. They should therefore (if nothing else will stick) at least be blocked from playing with each other.
Always difficult to trace stuff in the game logs, but out of the 19 finished games being non-team games/non 1.v.1 games that DomQuebec/Suzy played, 14 has ended with either one of them winning. If looking at the last 14 finished such games, 13 have ended with either one of them winning…. That’s a nice streak.
Game 2682216 – Nice quote…
2008-06-20 01:26:33 - Suzy: cause i always kill my french canadian friends last ,, but now your 1st,,& come to think of it he will be last again so ,what the hell
Game 2586421 – Nice quote no 2…
2008-06-05 01:29:49 - Suzy: Dom were do you live
2008-06-05 01:30:30 - DomQuebec: Québec
2008-06-05 01:30:41 - DomQuebec: mais je suis natif de Montréal (Ahuntsic)
2008-06-05 01:30:59 - Suzy: je suis nee a Quebec
And this is way into their gaming history together, having spoken French and shit in the game chat, setting up doubles etc.
Here Game 3856266 is a nice one. Feudal war map, ongoing (round 16), 6 player standard. Right now Suzy sits on Realm of Might 7 with 133 troops basically leaving the castle open to attack from DomQuebec (136 troops on Rebel territory 3). My guess is that Suzy is gonna sweep yellow and DomQuebec is gonna sweep pink, Suzy then going easy on DomQuebec in order to keep green off their backs before one of them finally wins.
Comments re DomQuebec and Suzy / Possible loosing points on purpose:
All games except one in which they play together are sequential. The freestyle game being Game 3913861. The game log does not show any simultaneous moves, rather plenty of time for one player to witch between accounts. There is one exception though (two assaults taking place simultaneously), so perhaps not multis.
Their 1 v. 1 history (9 games total and with DomQuebec winning 7 of those):
Game 3891685 – Suzy deadbeats, leaving DomQuebec to win.
Game 3808210 – DomQuebec goes first and both players build up on Comanche/Aztec (New World map). In round 3 Suzy goes on the attack, clearing a path through the neutrals and DomQuebec sweeps in next round. DomQuebec wins.
Game 2907453 – Suzy attacks neutrals, never DomQuebec who wins.
Game 2907452 – Suzy seems equally interested in attacking neutrals as DomQuebec who wins.
Game 2907308 – Suzy seems equally interested in attacking neutrals as DomQuebec who wins.
As with the other standard games, it seems rather fair the first games, but now in the later games DomQuebec seems to be taking the points. However, I'm not really concerned with their 1v.1 games, they seem ok in a sense. It's their history playing standard games against third parties that concerns me.
