Since round 8 when bpvball234 of team 1 was eliminated, this game has been team 1 + team 3 + team 4 against team 2 (yes, of course, I am part of team 2). This really is no big deal, it happens, we were strongest at that point. The absolute lack of attacks between team 3 and team 4 in the ensuing rounds, however, seemed odd. There were truces declared between team 1 and team 3 and between team 1 and team 4 (Very smart on team 1's part). We (team 2) recognized that we were only helping teams 3 and 4 by attacking team 1, so we discontinued that effort and gradually eliminated one of the members of team 4. We (team 2) are severely weakened by the repeated attacks of all others and our own efforts.
The surprise came in rounds 17-18 when the following messages were posted:
2009-12-01 23:59:15 - ArkieDog: TannTalas... It may be too late already, but we don't need to keep building borders in Africa.
2009-12-02 00:01:28 - ArkieDog: Red is about to run away with the game...
2009-12-02 00:02:26 - ArkieDog: Take Far East, bust Europe, or both would help both our causes...
2009-12-02 00:35:06 - TannTalas: Ok Arkiedog you and hogfan are up lets see what you can do to red
2009-12-02 07:26:56 - hogfan: I already busted China and India... Hogfan?
ArkieDog seems to be coordinating the moves of 3 players from 2 different teams (teams 3 and 4), now against team 1 as well. And the last comment there seems to be ArkieDog posting from hogfan's account. They are teammates but it looks suspicious.
ArkieDog does explain later:
2009-12-02 12:07:38 - ArkieDog: My bad. Hogfan is my daughter and plays on my computer occassionally.
2009-12-02 12:09:54 - ArkieDog: We play lots of doubles together. Not anything to be gained in Doubles matches and trying to play two positions.
2009-12-02 12:11:13 - ArkieDog: We discuss almost all moves before playing, which is fair in Doubles play..
2009-12-02 12:12:29 - ArkieDog: Anyway, this morning must have atuo signed in under her to see what was going on. Didn't play as you can see.
2009-12-02 12:14:02 - ArkieDog: Apologies. Anyway you can verify this by checking our games played and game chat.
2009-12-02 12:15:50 - ArkieDog: When we do play as Individuals in the same games, its usually with the same three or four family members.
I have never posted here before and don't want to waste your time, but could you please look into this? They may be innocent as they claim, but this does seem odd.
Thank you,
schlepp
