Team 2 hiddeous, micky team 4 vnuts, Johnny Breakfast

The accused are suspected of: Cheatin

Game number(s): 4062181

This is a BLIND team game currently going on and it was bad enough these two teams joined forces and would not attack each other until me and my partner were gone. This is not what I am concerned with but in the game chat they are proving every one in the game of what they accomplish against my team every turn and this includes positions and army counts. Now I am not a brain surgeon but this is a blind game and if you can’t see me the other players should not be informed of what I have. Here is the chat from the game.

2009-02-18 12:20:38 - vnuts: sorry ive been away on holidays, i tried to open up meggy as much as I could
2009-02-18 12:35:12 - vnuts: meggy has just one on mexico now, so you should be able to run right through... ill do it next turn with my set as well
2009-02-19 03:25:38 - micky: Couldnt get there, broke South America but couldnt get to America or Mahgreb

This is BLIND game and this is clearly cheating and they should be disciplined properly for it, me and my partner will loose this game because of this and that just is not right.

It appears that the player could have forgotten to make sure the Note to Teammates box was checked when the message was entered.

Either way, giving away positions in a Fog of War game is NOT cheating. If you think this action is unsportsmanlike or cheap, leave the appropriate ratings/tags.

Aaaahahaha to funny
The box is auto checked u have to uncheck it to talk to every one come on these guys aren’t even on the same team and if he forgot it would have posted privately I know this for fact because I do it all the time and have to retype my comment to everyone
There is a reason it is called blind if I wanted my opponents to know were and how many army’s I had I would have joined a visual game or I would tell them
If you think its ok to tell opponents position and strength I want to play with u all the time because u will never win

I never said that I was ok with someone doing that. I just said that it was not against the rules.

From the Community Guidelines:

Fog of War Games:
* Using the game chat to announce where a player's territories and troops may (or may not ;) ) be is NOT against the rules. It may come across as unfair or not in the spirit of the game, but feel free to find strategic applications of this non-rule.

It seems that NS has explained the situation fairly well. The accounts also do not appear to be multis with one another. This is being marked [Settled] and moved to Closed Reports.
