Accused:

helloimbrad
akme

The accused are suspected of:

Being Multis
Conducting Secret Diplomacy
Severe PM Abuse

Other: Red started. Had very nice drops in Prussia. Red missed the turn. I'm secound. Took one region from each in East Germany. Akme did follow me even he had nice drops in Hessen. I thought red would come back and play. Therefor I don't think it was smart of akme to take me. Red took his next turn. Droped troops in Prussia. I left East Germany and started to conquer in Rheinland. Akme also left East Germany and broke my bonus in Rheinland even red was a huge treat after secound round.

Red took whole Prussia and moved into West germany. I just dropped my reinforcement at Stuttgart. Then Akme did the same in Dusseldorf. Red dropped 10 troops at Munchen and took my 8 troops at Stuttgart. Then I left the game.

Game number(s):

Game 5430068

What exactly are you complaining about? You didn't win? You expected a cook to play like you play? How many cooks have you played?

Deadbeating (quitting when things don't go your way) is not exactly a show of good sportsmanship.

Nope. Read again. And read slow. No rush. When you have red again it's important you understand what I wrote. Good luck!

I took the time to understand what happened. I still don't get your complaint.

You (green) were the first to take a bonus. Blue, the very next player, broke it. Then red took a bonus. You were in position to attack him and break it in Thuringen, although I don't know how many troops he had on Potsdam. Instead you deployed troops on your broken bonus area, but didn't do anything with them. Blue decided to leave you alone since you didn't have your bonus anymore. He could have broken red from Magdeburg, but decided not to, perhaps for the same reason you didn't. Red dropped for 8 troops, and no one threatening his bonus, so he put them near the largest stack and took it.

All of this is normal play. Deadbeating as soon as things don't go your way, is, unfortunately, also part of the game that the rest of us occasionally deal with.

If you'll notice, red didn't win the game, even though they were supposedly colluding to take advantage of you. Red ended up deadbeating when blue broke his bonus (see a pattern here?). This is the only game they have played together. Not exactly convincing evidence of secret diplomacy.
