These are suspected Multis & Secret Alliance (both)

Suspect users: screwyjewy85, dicknose85

Game number: http://www.conquerclub.com/game.php?game=1059809

Comments: Entered a standard game as a secret alliance, admitted it after moving. Have a history of playing many games with and against only each other. Admitted both accounts are in the same house.

So they know each other and entered the game with intent to ally...

I'll have to get back to you on that one!

(Just a general statement, I haven't looked at this game)

Predetermined alliances have never been against the rules so long as they're announced PRIOR to happening.

They didn't announce until after they moved, and with the number of games they have in common (including just against each other) I'd like to verify it is n't a multi.

Is there an update on this yet?

I guess this was sarcasm and there is no intent to investigate this. I've seen several multi/secret alliance reports originate and be resolved in the 11 days since I posted the complaint.

If you have no intent on investigating, just say so. It is not just me waiting and watching this, but the two people who are reported.

Either investigate it or don't, but don't leave a report dangling for 11 days while newer reports are being resolved.

Please have a little more patience with this case. I have also looked into this and currently, we still need more evidence to conclude if they are multi accounts or not.

Until these two accounts starts playing games again, this will remain pending.

Thanks for the update, it is much appreciated. With the generally informal & sometimes irreverent tone of the CC message forums it can be hard to tell what is going on sometimes.

Official ruling: If it happens once or twice, its okay but for most people it would certainly be grounds for negative feedback and maybe the ignore list.

If players do this many times, especially in three player games (forming an alliance against the third person from the start) it would be considered gross abuse and would warrant a block.

In this specific case the alliance was announced before anyone else had a chance to play. The fact that it was after the first turn doesn't really matter, it was still an alliance announced from the start.
