Accused:

rckwtzmn
StaxRowland

The accused are suspected of:

Being Multis
Conducting Secret Diplomacy

Game number(s):

Game 20641860
Game 20326795


Comments:
When their play began to make no logical sense, and one player completely self-sabotaged and seemed to protect the other - I looked into the profiles. Player rckwtzmn has only completed 19 games, and has 20 games with StaxRowland. Either he is a multi using or they are conducting the most obvious secret diplomacy I've ever seen.

They do not appear to be multis of one another so this accusation is cleared.

As far as secret diplomacy is concerned, since this is really from Game 20641860, it's a fog of war game and it looks to me they happen to be on different base locations. How did you say one was protecting the other? That they should be attacking one another? Is there an open border where they are ignoring one another?

You can close this out. I found it highly suspicious that one player has 19 total games, and all 19 are with the same opponent.. but if they are not multis, I will just finish the game as is.

The only reason I looked into their history was because of extremely odd positioning, attacks, and reinforcements... like rck (green) having control of Australia in the first 2 turns of the game (good luck!), and then putting his full stack of 11 armies in Magadan which blocked my 2 biggest stacks from combining. I thought it odd, but kept playing. The next turn, Stax (blue) wiped out that australia bonus... which seemed an obvious move - but Green continued to reinforce in random areas that only appear to block yellow and red from getting a bonus, and leaves blue (the obvious leader in the game) untouched. This happened 5 or 6 turns in a row and each time I expected to see something that made sense... nope. Each reinforcement and attack that I could see were unexplainable. I've played thousands of games, all of them fog... and I hadn't seen something this nonsensical before.. so it made me curious enough to look into their history together. I saw they played all games together and it made more sense :)

Their history of games also includes other players as well. We can assume that they are likely friends. In this game I can hardly point a conclusive proof that they are favoring each other or one of them is helping the other based from the game logs. I'll clear this because of that.
