Accused:

deathandfriends
general bax
psychosos



The accused are suspected of:

Conducting Secret Diplomacy




Game number(s):

Game 8910570
Game 88012
Game 8892637

+ who knows how many more.

Comments:
The general scenario looks like this: General Bax & Psychosos join an already-started multi-doubles game. Then, account "DeathandFriends" joins as 1 member of another doubles.

In the game, one of Psychosos and General Bax OR deathandfriends will make one attack on the other team. I assume this is for appearances.

Psychosos and General Bax will take out Deathand Friends last... unless someone else takes him out. The account DeathandFriends also tends to miss at least one turn each game.

I looked over a few games in which there were at least one more team without one of these three involved.. it is consistent. It looks like a scam to me.

I am playing 3x doubles in 8910570 with them now. Green is very powerful, yet (as is their pattern) General Bax and Psychosos do not attack DeathandFriends.

I forgot to mention... in our game (underway now) DeathandFriends opened up by attacking his own teammate. This is not new.

In our game, they have a few attacks on each other. I discount these. There are never more than 1 per round, and we have challenged them on something "fishy" and "suspicious".

In our current game, deathandfriends used his deploy to attack two neutrals and my team mate... but ignored Team 3, who are better than 5 times as powerful as us. Makes no sense in an honest game.

After looking at this ongoing game and the games played together in the past , I cant find anything that looks like a SD.

In games you will see everyone has a different strategy, and everyone's strategy is not always the best.
The ongoing game is an Fog flat rate game, different strategy can be used in that without everyone beeing able to see what is going on.
It might look Fishy to you, but is doesn't mean they have an SD going on.

I don't see any evidence for SD, so DeathandFriends, General Bax, & Psychosos are cleared !

I'm going to do a statistical analysis. I believe that this will show that the chances of this happening are very, very slim.

To only attack each other 1 time in each of three games and 25 rounds of play???
