1. My "unfair" play in the assasination game
I don't know about you, but towards the end of the game when everyone else earns 3 troops, and i earn like 20, i control the game completely. My approach to this game was to win like always, except to keep you alive at the end and kill einyel. I only wanted to weaken you so that you wouldn't bother me. I know that you think i'm a liar. I say that i didn't know that you knew that you couldn't be my target. That's true. But even if i did know who was assasinating who, it's obvious, that the stronger you are, the weaker i am. So i weakened you and strengthened me. I took 3 countries. 3. and then you get all offended and take it personally and act like (sorry for the "personal attack") a jerk and bad sport in my opinion, b/c you have some hairbrained idea that i'm not playing fair. You acted like you were dead b/c i only was attacking you. You're right, i was. The first turn was b/c it's my strategy to always attack if it's 2 on 1. After, that, if you remember, you killed 9 of my countries, and put 12 troops in rome. So for the next 2 or so turns, i was attacking you b/c you owned most of the board, and had all of your guys where i was settling. After that, it became quit clear to me how twisted your thought process was, and how crazy you were being at speculating how i was a cheater. So i attacked you b/c i was furious at you and wanted you to loose no matter the cost. The first turn i believe is for attacking the weak places, picking and trying to settle somewhere, and fortifying to your advantage. I did all of that. The others are for winning, which in this case meant killing einyel. I never got to the second turn, though. You killed me. So it is unfair to say that i only attacked you, b/c you were in italy, and i wanted to settle their to get a bonus, and kill einyel.
2. My seemingly always allying with constantinople, and winning (except twice)
I have played 4 4 player games with them. I'll explain each individually.
Eastern Hemisphere- i allied against constantinople, and obliterated them. It's not easy to figure out how i won. One player only did half of their turns, another i killed in the beginning, and constantinople appears to be just stupid.
Europe- i made a truce with constantinople this time. They were stupid to accept. I almost won b/c of that. I didn't. So when i had another chance, i tried again b/c i thought they might fall for the same thing twice. They did, and i won.
Berlin- I again thought that i might could pull it off again. But this time they betrayed me, and i lost.
Europe- I was squished between einyel and constantinople. I tried to make a truce, but einyel argued against it, and cons took their truce instead. This is not the normal psychology of a multi-account or two friends. I was forced to accept an unfair truce, b/c einyel also did one, and cons wouldn't do anything better. While me and einyel were arguing violently over what a truce means constantinople destroyed us both.
Lastly, i can't believe that you call yourself an american. Innocent before proven guilty. You have only speculation. No proof. And my arguments make sense. And i prefer questions more than to snide comments that ignore all reason and facts as to how i'm a cheater and liar. So if you have any questions, please ask them so that i can clear up this mess.
I am only saying that I believe you a liar, and a cheater, and that is why I posted this thread. I never said you were proven guilty, only that I suspected it, which is how these threads are made. Now since in a case like this there never is any proof, you never can be 100% proven guilty. However, it will serve as a warning to others before joining your games, that this is what they can expect.
It is the collection of the games with constantinople that represents the suspicion. It is the fact that hes attacking neutrals, and just happening to break truces with others and you or him always happening to be winning. Einyel, himself felt cheated in that game, as he had a right to do so. Others in the games seemed to feel the same way.
Now I agree this is not proof, and as an american I do not suggest you be jailed for these offences, but I do know the game and its players well enough to know these are not the kinds of games people like to play.
Certainly, I could have waited, for you guys to play more games, and perhaps steal more points, but as an american, I decided to stand up against what seemed to be a crime, and to protect others. Thats simply the kind of American I try to be.
* And dont think its lost on anyone that you obviously knew Einyel after a couple of games, had stolen his points with your friend, and then proceeded to attack me in an assassin game, with "I didnt realize you knew I had you as a target" as your main defense. In any case, the assassin game isnt part of the accusation. Its there, because its why I looked at your other games in the first place.
