Comments:
I assume these two players are friends or family members. They have played 108 games of 4 player Classic, in which DeathCoil has won 26 and EEEE4 has won 32, whilst other players have won 50. So over half those games are won by one of the accused. They have also played 153 1v1 games in which it seems they play as you would expect. They have very recently started playing doubles together, with 5 finished and another 10 active or waiting.

Looking through some of their recent games, I have very little doubt that these two players favour each other. There seems to be a general pattern of not attacking each other early unless for a bonus or absolutely necessary for a card. I went through multiple games and couldn't find a single one where one player was eliminated first, unless by another player not involved in the collusion.

Game 19812203 is a particularly more blatant example. I suspect that since one player deadbeated and the other was a new recruit, they just decided to 2v1 as both players only attacked yellow for the vast majority of the game.

In Game 19812218 it would seem EEEE4 threw the game for DeathCoil for whatever reason.

Maybe not the nicest of chaps either: Game 9412494. I actually think you could make a separate case for DeathCoil's ratings abuse.

In Game 19796059 it seems SleepingBeauty calls them out for working together, and does so again in Game 19796062 and receives a rather poor rating as a result.

I've known about this pair for a little while but wasn't 100% sure. I had time to do some digging recently and think they need to be warned and blocked. Let them play team games.

They have played 108 games of 4 player Classic, in which DeathCoil has won 26 and EEEE4 has won 32, whilst other players have won 50.

doubt there having secret diplomacy because on average each player should win 27 of the games, and they are basically right at average so i defiantly don't think that theres anything wrong with them

the accused should of won 54 and they won 58 so just above average and everyone knows that nothings exactually average.

[iAmCaffeine]

If you go and read logs of the games it is clear that they favour each other in games. Just because their numbers aren’t super high doesn’t change that, it just means they aren’t very good.

Try actually looking at it properly before repeating the basic surface info I’ve already gotten, and saying average 26 times per minute.

[DeathCoil]

"I assume these two players are friends or family members"

This is the only correct statement.

There have been some games, actually, a lot, recently, where there would be one deadbeat, so technically a 2/4 expectancy isn't even correct.




In one of the games you provided ( https://www.conquerclub.com/game.php?game=19796059 )

2020-03-31 17:53:04 - EEEE4 eliminated DeathCoil from the game

2020-04-01 12:01:38 - Sleeping_Beauty: So, you guys are definetely plotting against me hahha
2020-04-01 12:06:16 - Sleeping_Beauty: No way green is that bad
2020-04-01 12:07:30 - Sleeping_Beauty: How come none never report on you before?

This was yellow talking to green/blue. I was already eliminated at that point. Ironically, by EEEE4. I actually didn't even realise I/we played against this player twice.

I was already eliminated for several turns, but I guess teaming / diplomacy also applies from the grave.

Any agreements, diplomacy, whatever, when present, is always made in game chat. Often it is apparent that attacking one an other isn't a good move, same goes for with other players.

"I assume these two players are friends or family members"

I'd recommend playing more team games and less multiplayer.

I'd recommend sticking your nose into your own business.

1. This forum exists for players to file reports if they think it necessary.

2. I don't even know who you are Kotaro.

[DeathCoil]

"I see you haven't met Caff before." Correct. Funnily enough, I came across this by accident. Wanted to report an username I found inappropriate, but considering that "Hitlersass" didn't seem to bother anyone, decided against it. It did then, come to my attention, that this guy opened this thread but also opened many other threads. Including accusing some of farming new players.

Either way, yes. If you think someone is doing secret diplomacy, cheating, or whatever, you should totally call them out on it. But first, do some proper research.

It would also reflect well upon you to at least exonerate the game with sleepy beauty of whatever that guy's name was. The rest is a matter of your opinion, but the logs clearly show that this is a false accusation.

Unless what you have to say is actual evidence that is relevant to the case and will either assist in busting or clearing the accused, then either
1) do NOT post it

All I read is your biased view on some selection of games of me & DeathCoil without support of actual factual evidence.

Reasons why I hereby request this report to be closed unless some actual evidence is presented.

[iAmCaffeine]

I presented what I believe is reasonable evidence in a report, which I think was necessary. Didn't realise it needed spelling out.

[king achilles]

Secret alliances are almost impossible to prove unless there are the obvious wall posts to see, slip ups in the game chat, open borders, etc. After playing so many games together, this is actually the first time they have been reported. As of now, what we have our suspicions but no solid proof yet to put a block because of a confirmed secret alliance. I will note this report for now.

[DeathCoil]

[These cases have been closed. If you would like to appeal the decision of the hunter please open a ticket on the help page and the case will be looked into by a second hunter.]

Those two links do not work, they return a 404 The requested URL /eticket/index.php was not found on this server. same for the other link

Anyway, would like to appeal this load of shit. Happy to discuss any game situation that may have raised any form of suspicion, but am 100% unwilling to accept this "noted" and will accept nothing less but a full exoneration.

I'm a moderator on a different gaming website (not in any way related to this) where we take care of cheaters harsly and highly value fair play. BS accusations like this I have zero appreciation for and as said, would like to appeal.

[iAmCaffeine]

What are you trying to appeal? A note is not a punishment. It just means there is something to reference if you're reported for this kind of thing again in the future. Obviously if you're as fair as you say (hint: you're not) then it won't be an issue.

[DeathCoil]

A "noted" is different from a verdict which states innocence.

Furthermore, I'd like to kindly request you to go play with some toys and f*ck off.

Stop posting in a thread I started then.

Could you just stop posting in this thread and leave room for the support admin(s) to respond? Thank you.

[iAmCaffeine]

It's my thread.

[Donelladan]

@DeathCoil and EEE4.
This is the usual outcome of a secret diplomacy report.
This doesn't mean anything, just let it go.
Take this as an experienced ( I've been reading this part of the forum for a while) and neutral opinion. ( I don't know any of you and I don't care about the outcome).

[DeathCoil]

It's my thread.

Fairly sure the question was raised to the 'hunters'. It seems you suffer from the last word syndrome.

You may be correct, however, I do value fair play quite highly, and bogus accusations I do not appreciate.

To me "noted" is like a judge saying "We can't find evidence of you beating your wife" which isn't the same as "you didn't do it"
