Comments:
General Steve and IronWood are buddies who have played 91 games together (of Feb 11, 2008). 30% and 40% respectively of their games played are with their buddy tho they only played few team games together in order to hide their friendship / cheating. Consequently, the game I played with them was forged from the outset.

Players: Watch out! Mods: Take action!

They only started attacking each other after I reported their cheating in the forum. I also left a similar note in the game chat. But their last minute efforts to cover up their cheating is too obvious.

I hope the mods aren't fooled by that poor cover-up...

Don't know whether site mods have the opportunity to visualize the game progress as it will become clearly visible that IronWood didn't fortify the frontiers he shared w/ General Steve and he himself didn't do anything to attack IronWood. Consequently IronWood could collect multiple bonuses.

What is visible from the the game and chat log is that I pointed this out to General Steve - long before I made it public in the forum. But only then both reacted in the game chat - probably expecting a moderator's intervention.

Prior to round 7 they didn't attack each other at all tho it would have been the more logical step for IronWood to do instead of attacking pdm2123.

Even IronWood's last minute effort to eventually killing off General Steve before he erased me shouldn't fool the moderators of the secrete alliance and the blatant cheating that forged the whole game.

Will there be any actions taken by the moderators to investigate this issue or will rule #2 not be enforced?

it takes some time....
do you have any idea how enforced rule #2 is? look around in this forum abit.

For the record, I checked if they are multis with each other and they are not. Even in the games they have played together, there is no clear pattern that one is giving away games to the other player. These two people may know each other in real life and play games together from time to time.

For now, this report is noted. If you see other games where they seem to 'throw' or give an advantage to the other, we will look into it further. Preferably proof or evidence from several turns.
