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.

More like....

https://youtube.com/...ADPjc?si=4mW-3yPF6xKvMmHt

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.

https://youtube.com/shorts/ARMyDfPX6v8

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.

After further consideration I am retracting my thoughts and wish to not press the issue further as it does not matter anyways.

After careful consideration I am redacting my thoughts and wish to not press the issue further

I'm retracting my finger

He's currently using multiple game accounts to cheat and suicide on other players, but I hear that he's a really nice guy otherwise.

Imagine how insecure you would have to be to act like that. Ironic name too considering how entertaining this goofball behavior is.

Laughing At You (#84)




I guess we all know how he got his record scores now if the guy cheats every time he plays. I was actually impressed prior to actually observing this guys behavior. Now he just seems like a prolific cheater to stay at it set after set.

Old dog new trix (#66)

Lol how much time did he invest in seething at people he really set up multiple accounts to do that. That takes the crown as the most goofy thing I’ve ever seen a player do here. Hilarious.

You must be confused. He is a "great guy" and "Definitely one of the nicest people playing express currently".

Btw this same guy was deleted dozens of times on his original account and even put the n-word in his country names. He's a super great guy though!

It would be nice if we could all treat each other with respect and compassion and in a fair way. There’s so many people on this earth whom it seems have made it their life mission to be as cruel as possible to everyone they encounter. This is exactly why I was on my tangent long ago. Not a fan of being mean for no reason to anyone one or any animal or nature. It seems so common now, especially online.

The Alliance server community generally rewards those who are cruel to others. Players can do the most depraved fluff imaginable, even going as far as hacking the game, and they will still always be welcomed in Alliance server social spaces.

Are you trying to drum up drama or something by continuing to quote what I said?

The guy came to me, offered to teach me how to play a better rep casher which he did.

After you banned him and sanctioned me I have not spoken to him or played your game since.

It kinda feels like you are trying to bait me into saying something here that’s gonna get banned

I Also mentioned above that he was Mr Titanium from RD.

Again he was good to me by giving me tips to increase my NW. that was the end of my dealings with him.

I don’t know what your agenda is Slagpit by continuing to quote and allude that I am somehow related to him when I haven’t made an express country since I was sanctioned aka not able to make land grabs for selling tech on the market…

Hi Superfly, I'd be happy to stop mocking you for your comments if you stop complaining everywhere about bans. Deal?

So you are publicly saying that you are mocking me?

Interesting because if anyone even remotely mocks or makes fun of a mod or admin they are given a 10 year forum ban.

Also how can I complain of bans when I am not banned but sanctioned?

Lastly every earth player can see my lasts posts. They have been saying good bye to servers that have ended and that I have retired from

Why would we allow someone who doesn't play the game to keep making fluffty comments everywhere that hurt the game?

You've used sports analogies in the past. Go join a local sports league, cuss out the referee to his face, and report back to us how that goes for you.

"I was baited" would be about the same level of sophistication as "She was asking for it". I don't believe anyone would ever genuinely take this position, which is why obvious troll is obvious.

The SF show has jumped the shark.

You could try actually playing the game, instead of just showing up every round as a backstory...

Sure bro, my post history is wide open. I have made no negative posts to you or anyone else.

I have said good bye posts in coop and primary and some random posts in CWG thread in 1a….

https://imgur.com/a/gyrTNni

It's a bit much

Huh well I’ll be damned. I guess have typed the word “ban” a fair bit over the years but not as complaints again you or any admin here.

Worth while to open a few of the links from your search link btw.

Haven’t you restarted enough times by my hands in team and alliance amigo?

I can play alliance next set to visit your country tagged monster next set if you like?

LOL

You have me mixed up with someone that cares what you have done, are doing now, or will do in future.

However I am mindful of the following:

I shall meet to-day inquisitive, ungrateful, violent, treacherous, envious, uncharitable men. All these things have come upon them through ignorance of real good and ill. But I, because I have seen that the nature of good is the right, and of ill the wrong, and that the nature of the man himself who does wrong is akin to my own (not of the same blood and seed, but partaking with me in mind, that is in a portion of divinity), I can neither be harmed by any of them, for no man will involve me in wrong, nor can I be angry with my kinsman or hate him; for we have come into the world to work together, like feet, like hands, like eyelids, like the rows of upper and lower teeth. To work against one another therefore is to oppose Nature, and to be vexed with another or to turn away from him is to tend to antagonism. — Marcus Aurelius, Meditations. Book II Part 1

And for that reason, I will take the time to say this (do with it as you will):

The respect that seem to be looking for cannot be found here from me, my country, these forums, this entire game or indeed anywhere outside of you. It is in you, and you are the one withholding it.

Once you give this to yourself, you will understand why you were not able to obtain it anywhere else, and how futile any attempt to do so was.

You seem to care. Are you here not posting about me?

If you didn’t care you wouldn’t be here.

Hmmm k thx bye!

Ok sure I’ll bite just for you.

I R WoG SuperFly Hit Me Plz (#90) as of Oct 4th.

Come LG me though cuz I can’t hit first….

This is an opinion, and carries the implication that it is you that I [seem to] care about. I explained above what I cared about: it's me; how I behave what I should say; what I should do.



This is badly worded. It is a run-on sentence, that conflates two independent clauses. There is negation of the second clause mid-way through that introduces ambiguity, and it is phrased as a rhetorical question. This is an absolute clusterfluff of confusion, but I think it is actually just a mistake.

Breaking it down:

It is true that "[I am] here".
It is true that "[I am] not posting about you".

Making this a rhetorical question, is essentially the same as stating it as fact. i.e. "You are here, not posting about me".

This is true, because my post was about me. However, I don't think that is what you intended to communicate.

I think you were intending to use the "are you not" form but transposed not/here. i.e. "Are you not here posting about me?"

"Are you not" is the formal way of writing "Aren't you", and this expression has no "negation" component when used as a precursor to a rhetorical question. i.e. stated as fact it becomes "You are here posting about me".

This also true! It is incumbent on me to do good, and "to turn away from him is to tend to antagonism". The right thing to do was to offer you advice, but "It's just advice man..." - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8j9dtBVQJs



The fundamental flaw here is that you are affirming the consequent, by assuming that me caring is the only reason for me being here.

If P, then Q (If you care, then you are here).
Q is true (You are here).
Therefore, P caused Q (You are here because you care).

However, just because you are here (Q) does not mean that caring (P) is the only or necessary reason. There could be other reasons for being here, such as obligation, curiosity, or coincidence, that do not involve caring. Thus, the conclusion "If you didn’t care, you wouldn’t be here" (Not P → Not Q) does not logically follow, as it’s possible to be here without caring.

This is where equivocation comes in, inconsistently applying modifiers to try and refute this fatal logical flaw through the use of sophistry.

e.g.

Your premise (P1) is "You [seem to] care"
Your premise (Q1) is "You are here posting about me"

From the outset there was an inferred qualified premise (P2) "You care about me", and your conclusion introduces the unqualified premise (Q2) "You are here"

The stated conclusion is "If you didn’t care / you wouldn’t be here" (Not P1 → Not Q2) but the implied conclusion is the fully qualified: "If you didn’t care about me / you wouldn’t be here posting about me" (Not P2 → Not Q1).

However the problem with stating this conclusion explicitly is that it infers the conditional relationship "If you care about me, you are here posting about me" (P2 → Q1). Which more fully exposes the fundamental flaw, because I have already replied to you with advice on the basis that I am motivated to do good, and that this has nothing to do with whether I "care[s] what you have done, are doing now, or will do in future" in response to you talking about *in game* activity.

SuperFly can believe that I posted about SuperFly because I cared about SuperFly's in game actions, but I think SuperFly should have read my post more carefully.

Am I here posting about SuperFly because I care about SuperFly's in game actions?

The quote I posted above actually starts with: "Say to yourself in the early morning:" but I left that part out, maybe I should not have.
