What can I do? [busted]

[dak23]

This is my first post to the forums here, and I am mainly looking for advice. I am currently in a 2v2 team game, where my teammate has, on his first two turns so far, attacked only me. He has also commented directly to me that he is doing this on purpose and that he knows its a team game. What recourse do I have?

[killmanic]

copy the game chat down and post it here so people can see it also use the tags team killer and bad teammate and that type of thing to warn other players.

2008-10-27 12:35:05 - dak23 [team]: I think I hae a good shot at both The Horn, and the Middle East, especially if you can reinforce me in the middle east
2008-10-27 12:35:23 - dak23 [team]: let me know where you want some help, and I will reinforce you with my units in that area
2008-10-27 12:53:55 - freaky101 [team]: I think it would probably be best if I attack you in both the Middle East and the Horn
2008-10-27 12:54:36 - freaky101 [team]: Sure, could you fort me in Italy so I can attack you in Europe on my next turn?
2008-10-27 16:59:55 - dak23 [team]: you know that this is a team game...right?
2008-10-27 19:36:05 - freaky101 [team]: Of course I do
2008-10-28 10:42:01 - freaky101 [team]: wow, I did really well that turn

That last post was made after he attacked a large number of my territories. As you can see, he specifically states his intention to attack me.

would make it easyer to post something like the game number:

problem is, your doubple already has a few wins under his belt, so i wonder why he is doing these things. its not your regular stupid noob thing

[Kotaro]

killmanic, if it's purp[osely throwing the game for friends, isn't there a way to ban them from playing together or at least take away their premium?

Putting tags on a person is a ridiculous punishment, since the rating system is a joke entirely.

edit: oh, and threadstarted, a good idea is to add that partner of yours to your foe list, preventing him from joining your games anymore.

[killmanic]

also using the form that is given when u start a topic is also needed for the hunters to look at this thread.

@Kotaro: how do u know they are friends?

[Kotaro]

I don't; hence why I used the word "if".

[Megadeth666]

looking at all freaky's games , he does seem to to attack his partner alot for no reason?
example:Game 3491185, the other teams are asking him to help them out too, LOL,
don't think there is much to do , other than foe list, and hope he doesn't screw around all his other partners in all the dubs he just started

Partner of dak23 (freaky101) deliberately attacks partner, and makes it clear in team chat that he has no intention of doing otherwise.

This either means that the other team knows freaky, and are conducting secret diplomacy. Of course, it is always possible that he's point dumping, or he has a vendetta against dak23. Seeing as how dak23 and freaky101 are in their first game together ever, that's probably not the case. It is always possible that freaky101 is a multi, but since he has a good amount of games played, and a decent rank, that's also not very likely.

Edit: another interesting fact, which points towards a possible multiple account owner; ilarry and freaky101 are now in 3 active games together, including the one suspected in this form; however, in every game, they're on opposite teams. Infact, all games were started by ilarry, and freaky101 joined each one last.

[freaky101]

Hi there, I just wanted to state for the record that I am not multis with ilarry or anyone else; he simply started a lot of doubles games, and, as was mentioned earlier, I happened to join quite a few of them over the last day or two, so that's why we are currently in three of them together.

[niMic]

You're not a multi, you just like intentionally throwing games? Incidentally, that's not allowed either.

[SuicidalSnowman]

Also, try to join team games with people you know. It is a much more fun way to play, and avoids a lot of this kind of thing happening.

[freaky101]

Hi niMic, you said I "intentionally throw games"; please look at my rank and score; it's not bad, and I've only been on this site for a couple of weeks

[king achilles]

ilarry and JohnTheGreat are cleared.

freaky101 is busted as Thrilla45.

[SirSebstar]

lol

[shanksdigs]

This is ridiculous. I was directed to this forum because I posted about freaky101. Why is he allowed to finish his games? Please, moderators and gamemasters, please, please delete players like this and spare the victims. I am a multiple victim of this idiot and I pay to play on this site. I am not typically an activist, but if this kind of abuse continues to take place, I think it would be prudent for me to stop paying the annual fee and to encourage other players to do the same. As I have been a huge advocate of this site to my friends and fellow gamers, it would seem strange for me to begin such a campaign. Nonetheless, it seems just as stupid for me to sit back, pay the fee, and allow my ranking and rating to drop becuase of players like this.

I encourage the owners, gamemasters, moderators, and the like to rewrite the code and allow for players like this to be deleted and their games to be voided.

This is ridiculous. I was directed to this forum because I posted about freaky101. Why is he allowed to finish his games?

People are allowed to finish their games because of the chance that the person is not guilty. Therefore not allowing people to finish their games can hurt innocent people and force them to miss their turns.

Please, moderators and gamemasters, please, please delete players like this and spare the victims.

Usernames are never deleted, for any reason. People are busted and not allowed to start or join any more games.

lancehoch...your comment that names are never deleted is why I am not going to renew. It is a database. Delete them.

You comment about allowing players to finish games is only pertinent if the player is currently being reviewed and is an unproven cheat. My response: Once a player is determined to be a cheat, cut him off. Don't let him finish. Cancel the games.
