Game number(s):

Game 4891132

Comments: Blatant killing of team-mates target in an assassin game. After failing to attack his team-mate, Vermont enabled his team-mate (petewins1368) to profit from bonuses. When this didn't quite produced the desired victory, Vermont decided, to cash in and finish the job for his team-mate himself. Normally, a cheat would make a token gesture to make it appear he was trying to eliminate his target. Not this time!

The excuses provided are pathetic. Well, check it out, there are no excuses possible:

[Vermont]

I don't normally play assassin games (in fact, that was the first since I've come back to cc after being gone for many months.) I was just trying to get the territory at the top (which I was trying to do from the beginning, if you notice.)

I don't think I've even played with that other person before, either, and I certainly don't know him. I already admitted in chat in the game you followed me too that it was a poor play. What more do you want?

In game 4891132, from round 1 - round 4, Vermont was attacking petewins1368 as this looks like his target. Only from round 5 and 6 that he attacked red which eliminated this player and handed the game to petewins1368. You may believe his reasoning for what happened in your game or not. Speed Assassin fog-of-war games are prone to unexpected endings.

So far, 2 games played together by these two players and both are speed games, and in this game, it also happens to be a fog-of-war type, which can also 'blind' one's view on how much troops you still have. I can only note this for the time being. If you think blue and green had planned this all along, or if blue gave this win to green, then give him/them the appropriate ratings for it. We would need more than 1 suspicious game to warrant a block for them.
