Conquer Club

I checked the closed reports back to the date the second joined, as well as did a search for their names and didn’t find anything, so if they have been cleared in the past, I apologize in advance.

Accused:
bayrules
paulm
vibaion


The accused are suspected of: being multis

Game 5152541 - Sequential

I saw this and was suspicious because it was sequential and casual:

2009-07-12 17:50:36 - paulm ended the turn
2009-07-12 17:50:36 - Incrementing game to round 4
2009-07-12 17:51:01 - vibaion received 3 troops for 1 regions

After looking at it, I vaguely recalled playing against them when I first joined, so I went back and looked at that game.

I then checked their games, and there are plenty of others where this exact same thing happens, but it’s faster now, down from a minute or so to seconds.

There are plenty of their other freestyle games where the same thing happens. It occurred to me that they could be friends, but friends usually write things on each others’ walls, and their walls are blank. So it’s either that they’re related and are really good at coordinated attacks, or multis.

Also note the country. The only odd part that leads away from this is, they are all a fairly decent rank. There is none that is dramatically lower. This leads me to the conclusion of friends, or they weren't satisfied with the four games and they may have even more accounts, four isn't enough what makes twelve so special.

Yeah, but if you look at their opponents, they're taking down majors, colonels, and brigadiers, which explains the ranks. So, there's either 1 highly skilled player, 3 highly skilled players, or 1 highly skilled player and two that are good at following directions. Considering the possibility that it was three people, if they were all online at the same time, it seemed suspicious to me that none of their freestyle moves overlapped in any of the games I looked at, so I wanted it checked out.

multis
