Comments:

Read the chat, it's pretty self-explanatory. Here is the relevant excerpt:

2009-06-10 20:22:49 - mkohary: Pink, go north and get yellow for heaven's sake.
2009-06-10 20:23:56 - mkohary: We're going on 3 weeks here, guys.
2009-06-11 14:29:42 - MalditoPT: I wont go
2009-06-11 14:29:48 - MalditoPT: he is my friend =)
2009-06-11 16:04:09 - sakota: lol
2009-06-11 16:04:30 - sakota: red is going to take NA!
2009-06-11 16:04:44 - MalditoPT: nuno leva as tropas pra cima
2009-06-11 16:05:05 - MalditoPT: de raush
2009-06-11 16:05:13 - MalditoPT: pra atacar o vermelho
2009-06-11 16:05:30 - MalditoPT: ele tirou-me agora o territorio q tinha na asia
2009-06-11 16:05:34 - MalditoPT: deve tar com a asia
2009-06-11 18:07:44 - mkohary: Woah, pink, you want to get reported? You won't attack a color because he's your friend, and chatting in a foreign language - both against the rules.
2009-06-11 18:33:14 - mkohary: What language are you speaking in, and what did you say?
2009-06-11 18:39:08 - mkohary: You're speaking Portugese, and both pink and yellow live in Portugal.
2009-06-11 18:39:20 - mkohary: Babelfish translates it as: "nuno takes the troops pra top of raush pra to attack the red it took off me territory q now had in Asia must tar with Asia"
2009-06-11 18:39:49 - mkohary: Secret diplomacy, and speaking in a language not understood by all players. Consider yourselves reported.

Bump. Is anyone going to look at this? It's a pretty cut-and-dried case, it's all right there in the chat with a full admission that these two are buddies and agreed offline not to attack each other. Speaking in a foreign language is the icing on the cake.

I checked their games. This incident is way too isolated, since they have only played two games together, and one of them was a trips game where they're on the same team. They'll probably only get a warning.

That's cool, I'm not looking for a ban. Just want to make sure they know the rules and play by them.

A warning sounds about right... and of course noted should they continue
to play together and their moves are suspect.

I don't like this line that he said in that game chat which isn't included in your original post.

2009-06-12 08:52:34 - MalditoPT: so whats the diference?

Its apparent that these 2 are friendly in real life, and I don't imagine a WARNING will stop the collusion of these 2 in non-teams games, but the other side is this is the only game that they have played in together that wasn't a teams game and a case could be made that their is not enough of a trend yet.

Interesting to see if the Admin chooses to be pro-active and stop these 2 from being able to collude secretly or reactive and wait for them to do it again before they get the BLOCK that is coming to them.
