Accused:
Zhu_geThe accused are suspected of:
Other: Hack?
Game number(s):
Game 5286145Comments:
Currently playing on the World 2.1 map.
The backstory: I controlled Australia and the East Indies. At some point within the last two turns, he showed up on the other side of the access points: in East Australia, Central Australia, and New Zealand. I don't know how he got there because at the time of this writing (Round 13) I control the three bottleneck points of West Australia, Thailand, and Hawaii/Philippines.
I'm not sure if he is cheating or not. It's a "fog" game and I can't see what all his moves are. It's entirely possible that I forgot to clear out New Zealand or something (red/pink-yellow/neutral gray are sometimes easy to miss when against each other). I would just like a mod to check it out in the event that I did own it and something shady is going on.

Something's weird with this player...
I doubt it has anything to do with hacking, but I'm in a game with him and he seems pretty good for just being a new recruit...He also has a 100% win percentage, so at least, just check him out...

Game was on round 14 when I checked the game log, about 3 turns before that, he handed in a set with south africa and mozambique bold...., he also had a 3 bonus and a 4bonus, so was probably holding the horn and southern africa, he had 30+ regions, so assuming he was stacking on south africa would have been very easy for him to walk into australia. Especially if you had split into 3stacks protecting your bonus. His win rate is not that suspicious he has won the only game he has completed. Could be luck, though he appears to be playing very, very well, looking at the 4games he is active in. There was nothing magical about him getting into your cookie jar in the game number you have posted.

I agree, but I don't remember him coming in through W.Ausralia...or if he did, I DID hold Australia AND Oceana and he just sort of appeared there out of nowhere on the opposite side of where he could have come in.
That's why I'm asking for a mod to check it out. It's a fog game and I can't see his moves.

I find Nick's whiney nature the most suspect thing in that game...
Like OMFG! He hacked the game to break my bonus.
Fer chrissakes, suck it up cupcake. As the strongest player on that map
don't act so surprised that someone made an effort to slow you down.
Lighten up and don't be so quick to jump to conclusions.
Zhu_ge got off to a good start winning his first game and that made you suspicious Nick?
Give it a rest dude... look at his current games and you'll find he's not superman yet.
[...] "he just sort of appeared there out of nowhere" [...]
Um... it's a Fog of War game... where do expect opponents to come from?

There was nothing in that original post that was whiney and one would have to be an absolute retard to take it as such. Given that, thank you for a most informative response.
I simply asked whether or not I actually cleared out Oceania because if I DID, he's cheating. If not, then there is no problem.
If you cannot answer that simple question, then, well, perhaps you should find something better in your life to do than to misconstrue an honest question and try to make drama out of it.

I dunno Nick,
"the accused are suspected of: Other: Hack?"is one of the more outrageous accusations ever made.
maybe the paratrooper plugin actually works?

What you are looking for happened on round 16 when he received a number of troops and conquered a lot of your regions. Now that the fog-of-war is lifted, it is there in the game log.

Nah actually I think it was the round 13 events that the OP meant. zhu deploys on NZ and takes a bite of australia, so no hack just poor eyesight.
