I R WoG SuperFly God Of War (#66) sent over $8 billion in market aid to Mr Titanium Is The Baba Yaga (#67). This was enough for Mr Titanium Is The Baba Yaga (#67) to steal an undeserved win. Without the aid he likely would have been in sixth place or so.

The rules clearly state the following: "This server does not have clans. Playing in order to benefit another player is not allowed. Working with another player to disadvantage another player is not allowed."

Both players have been placed under military sanctions and further penalties will be applied in the future.

I totally called it.

The guy who was guiding me on how to play rep casher last few sets got in war over his land grabs. Threw his set away and he offered to buy my tech at $9000. I bit to make extra money and now I am sanctioned :(

Guess with no ability to land grab a bot I’ll max out at 15k land exploring all my turns. Sigh…


What’s a good all explorer strategy fam?

Still wanna play of course but now without being able to land grab bot unfortunately

Oh wow I am sanctioned on primary as well. Guess time to hang up the old hat then.

Would a purple country not been a sufficient punishment in all honestly instead of forcing me to quit all servers except allaince?

Anyways I deleted my country on all the server but allaince and coop for now.

Thanks everyone for all the great times been a good 30 year or so run. Take care express friends!

Dude, you cheated and are complaining about the consequences.....


WTF

It isn't even purple, you have your illegitimate win still.

A purple is what I deserved for selling tech to someone who was willing to pay more.

FYI every set I place militery and tech high hoping to get it bought out by bots or players when the market empties out. Sometimes works sometimes not. M

However, making it impossible to never play the game again is not what I deserve in my opinion as the sanctions post clearly states that this is intended for other things.

https://www.earthempires.com/...ministrative-tool-49995/1

Examples of not acceptable behaviors on solo servers:

* Starting the round with the intent to aggressively ruin the playing experience of other players. For example, landgrabbing a country in GDI over and over in an attempt to force it to give up its GDI protection so special attacks can be launched against it.
* Teaming up with other players outside of the ingame alliances framework.
* Repeated targeting of players due to issues that occurred on other servers.

This isn't an announcement that I make lightly. However, we need to do something to improve the playing experience for the typical player and to reduce the amount of admin and moderator time spent dealing with a small group of players who continually cause problems.


So selling tech to a guy who wanted to buy it is “ Teaming up with other players outside of the ingame alliances framework.” and destructive game play now?

Either way it’s ok, I am not fighting the semi game ban here. I am finishing up this round of coop and playing 1a until sol/Mercs finish their war and I am done playing the game that I have played without interruption for almost 30 years.

All best to the couple dozen of players who still have the privilege to play a free nostalgic game from their childhood.

Another player named his country after you, deliberately stole cash from other players, and funneled $8 B to you during the final hours of the set to allow you to steal the win. The primary issue here is that you are acting as if you did nothing wrong. That means that you're likely to do it again in a future round. Do you truly believe that you didn't cheat?

what was the punishment?

I can guarantee you the Smanlau err however you spell his cheating ass name will cheat again, he's a notorious cheater that has a lengthy track record of shenanigans dating back to the period you were gone, question is, what happens to him? I'm pretty sure other players wonder the same, especially those who know him as well as I do.

I did not send Mr Titanium, to wreck other people or ask him to setup a win for me. I have never cheated in the 30 years that I have played here. A guy offers to buy my tech for $9000 and now I am branded a cheater for life. Thanks guys.

anyways like i said to you in a PM Slagpit, thank you for allowing me to play the game as long as you did. I am not fighting the sanctions or anything else. I am peacefully riding off into the sunset after the SOL+Mercs vs. the server war. I made peace with the fact that I will retire along with most of the players who are tagged SOL & Mercs at end of set.

It has truly been an honor to play a game for 30 years and to have met a few players in real life over the years and talked to many players on a friends level.

Btw, my craziest earth experience was with Lord Slayer about 12 years ago if anyone remembers that player. On one of our WoG/RAGE chats he mentioned that he was a Ford Salesman in Wisconsin and I entrusted this man with a large wire transfer to buy two brand new F350s and I trusted the guy to put them on a carrier for me to be delivered to a company that I had just setup in Texas all the way from Canada. Thankfully Lord Slayer did not scam me out of $100k+ lol



Sanctions which means that I can play but not really play. Kinda like getting both your arms and legs cut off but you are still alive....

Those big fords are nice, million mile truck. That Raptor R has the cool factor though.

Who said anything about "branding you a cheater for life"? Are you trying to generate more discord drama or something? The path to you not being under military sanctions is incredibly simple.

I remember Lord Slayer, that guy was a hoot

Where is the road map located to see this path? Nothing on the boards from what I can see while browsing the stickied threads.

I got cash app, Venmo, PayPal, American Express. Apple & google gift card, Apple Pay, crypto. Let me know.

did you send a PM, like dude, yah man, silly move on my end. cheap kix, bro. Lame sauce I know. I really would like to keep playing. As you know this is out of character and I do think this is a little excessive, across all servers to?


If you did that... or something to that extent. Seemed hess was able to get his removed with a similar dialogue once upon a time.

No, he's been farming drama on the forums instead.

If superfly thinks that what he did wasn't cheating that means that he's likely to do it again. Sanctions are only used to prevent future problems.

Here’s a logical question for you if all I am doing is farming drama.

If market manipulation on a solo server is cheating. Would the correct action not have been a purple country?

Reading the sanctions rules it mentions attacking and destructive play not gaming the market.

So here is my question, if I were to play which I am
Not as I said I was retired from express now that my 831 consecutive playing streak is over, being sanctioned could I not play all-x techer again and just place tech for $9999 and see if all my friends (most of the guys who play express) who play server would buy it for the lawlz considering that we run out of tech many times during the round?

If you pull up Nitels market history you can see that he sells tech for very high prices every set to game the bot purchases

But don’t worry I won’t be making a country as I am for sure done with express and tournaments and primary and coop at the end of the week.

All I am saying is that I can’t land grab but my crime had nothing to do with land grabbing or hitting players.

Thats all. Just wanted to put my thoughts out there
