portraitist63 and hopesail [Busted]

This is a suspected.....cheater of some kind....multi, maybe??

Suspect users: portraitist63

Game number: http://www.conquerclub.com/game.php?game=170086#gmtop


Comments: If you're looking for a real mystery, here ya go. Really weird stuff. I got together three people for a four person realtime game, set it up, and pm'ed the game #/password to ONLY those three people. They are: DirtyBirdy, trestain, and hopesail. Birdy and tres entered game, but lo and behold, another person entered instead of hopesail. It was a noob named portraitist63.

Hopesail pm'ed me as the game was starting to say: "Someone jumped in before I could! I have dialup, it's too slow!"

The mystery: how did portraitist get in the game? As trestain pointed out, he could have guessed the password, as it was a common one, "realtime." But, portraitist was obviously looking for a realtime game. Though he could have guessed the password, he could not have picked our game randomly from the private list as a rt game.

So, is portraitist63 a multi of hopesail? Hard to say, they have no common games. Would hopesail be so devious as to enter a multi account into this game just to build up the score/profile of the multi, for more effective use later? Damn, that would be devious.

I certainly don't think Birdy or trestain have portraitist as a multi, so what might some other options be here? Andy, please help us figure this out!!

Finally, if you're looking for entertainment, read the chat of this game. Portraitist is a weird motherfucker. Some things he said made me feel like I had played him before; other things indicated a guy who has never played this game at all. But the main problem: throughout the game he refused to tell us how he got in, how he knew the game was rt and knew the password. I am right befuddled myself. Read the chat!

cheers,
Nephilim

this is very interesting, it's hard to pin point any one of your 4 as the multi.
Though vchef69 could be the multi, too, since he did post there, but unlikely.
Gl, on this mystery.

hi

portraitist just refuses to say where he got the pw from, weird.

im thinking hopesail is multiing to get past paying premium myself, still worth looking in to.

So hopesail is not a premium, that could add a movite for him to do it and not want to tell you. Hopesail looks more guilty now, but not guilty enough for me to give an answer or a strong opinion on it.

well this is a double ended first for me, my first post and my first "complaint" of another player. It wasn't as though the player was rude, insulting or even overly memorable... just a simple case of wtf, or more precisely, htf... neph pw'd the game and sent the number to those players that were in fact invited, the player could guess the pw but not the game number. really weird.... posting wasn't as bad as i thought, be gentle...lol

Hm, I think I know where the password came from...

I'm going to BUST portraitist63 and hopesail for being multiple accounts.

thanks, Andy, you're the best.

i lean towards agreeing with trestain--maybe hopesail only created a multi to get around the four game limit. he seemed like a nice guy in the only other game i played with him. but you gotta play by the rules, baby!
