Accused: Hellfire Hotties & Karmatrain

Hellfire Hotties
Karmatrain

The accused are suspected of: Conducting Secret Diplomacy

Game number(s): 6588733

Game 6588733

Comments: Very difficult to prove secret diplomacy but I'll do my best to explain why I am believe it occurred in this game.

1) well disguised at first as both players aimed to hold a continent of their own in the beginning and lightly attacked each other, however as the game progressed, Hellfire Hotties left Karmatrain's continent alone and focused on attacking random spots on the board including hitting my bonus and helping to weaken me from defending or attacking Karmatrain. Very difficult to prove or explain but the suspected conspiracy was very well camouflaged.When I did attempt to callout the other players I had originally assumed in was a multi account but that was proved to be wrong so I can only come to the conclusion this was a case of well disguised secret diplomacy.

2) Both players know each other and have played with each other on another site thus showing there is a friendly relationship outside of this site.

Hey, I'm really sorry again if I did anything wrong. I've played Karmatrain lots because he told me about the site, and we have fun playing games. We used to play each other on a baseball site, but that is shutting down tomorrow.

Game Log (part of it, last comments made)
2010-03-11 00:46:47 - Hellfire Hotties: I'm just new and don't know what I'm doing yet
2010-03-12 18:48:38 - MasterGuns: sorry Hellfire, but even after i made mention of possible multi account/ secret diplomacy, you still continued to attack me while Karmatrain had 3 continents and both of us had none
2010-03-12 18:50:58 - MasterGuns: that only tells me that you dont care if you win as its apparent you joined this site for your friend karma to double up on other players and alternate who gets the points in diff games
2010-03-12 18:53:53 - MasterGuns: it seems you also mix it up to look less obvious and do play some one on one games with him but that still doesnt justify handing random games to each other.
2010-03-12 18:55:14 - MasterGuns: i just dont buy the I dont know what im doing because im new excuse
2010-03-12 18:56:02 - MasterGuns: not when youve played a total of "60" games on this site already

Like you said MG it is hard to prove. I can't say for certain that they teamed up against you but I am going to NOTE this report for future reference.

I also suggest the Karmatrain and Hellfire Hotties refrain from playing multi player games together. You are obviously friends and continuing to play multi player games will more than likely lead to more reports. I suggest to play team games together.
