When I was a little boy, my uncle thaught me to always place a large rock at the base of your castle, so that when people such as Kestas kicked them, they would hurt themselves.

Hey now, kestas isn't one of those guys, he's the guy who goes and kicks the sand castle of the guy who kicked your kid's sand castle in for no reason. It's a justice kick.

Except instead of your kid's sand castle its phpdip and instead of the guy's sand castle it's his multiple accounts.

Not quite sure about the ethics involved, but there are some really nice CD Countries to be picked up now as a result of this.

man! all those were multi accounters?! that explains a lot.

All the same person?

It does explain a lot. I've played against a couple of those accounts.... I wouldn't piss on that guy if he was burning.

lol, gotta love that one of the nine accounts he had was named "careless".

always knew there was something wrong with that Canute guy.

Xapi, in case you're still confused (and weren't just kidding); this thread isn't about sand castles, and I've never kicked down a sand castle (I think I kicked my own down as a kid though)

There was someone who used many accounts over the past 6 months or so to gain an advantage in games and build up many points at the expense of other players, and today I deleted the accounts so he has to start over (if he still thinks it's worthwhile)

Indeed. I always felt that Eng/Russia in that No-Fleet-Build variant on the global press were talking to themselves. It had the feeling of arguing against yourself. =D

P.S. I am the master of sand castle construction

Well...glossing over the sand castles =D, it was pretty stupid to enter 4 accounts to help yourself win a game--and a variant which will attract more attention, too.

I was kidding.

Lol, check this out - from gameID=4393 (Hello World).... Turkey was eliminated, Austria won with 19 centers....

*global press

Autumn 1904:

Canute (Austria ): germany supporting france in munich?
meta gaming maybe?

Moosehole (Germany): Yeah that must be it.

Canute (Austria): certainly looks like it- anyway i will now make it my mission to kill you and france before anyone else- was gonna turn on turkey- but not now:)
turkey- soory let's draw this withb england
sorry rather

Feckless Clod (France): Meta-gaming? Care to name just one other game I've played with Moose Hole? Ever?
Why would Turkey want to draw with England when we've got Austria surrounded? Maybe YOU'RE metagaming? I have to wonder what Canute, with 16 wins under his belt, is doing in 'noob game-3' with Kangaroo....

Canute (Austria): you aren't noob feckless

Moosehole (Germany): I don't think you actually read what he wrote. Anyway, a good diplomat can convince dumbasses like me to do anything.

Canute (Austria): i was simply wondering out loud. i checked your profiles and saw that there was no metagaming:)

Autumn 1905:

Canute (Austria): Sorry Turkey. You must have known it was coming though. I expected you to attack a year ago.

Autumn 1906: oh- and DIE France.
England- fancy a draw?
Germany- sorry:)

Kangaroo (Turkey): Fuck you Bitatch.

Canute (Austria): Now, now my dear pathetic child. Do not go broadcasting name calling... tsk tsk!
And it's either "biatch" or bitch, not bitatch, lol

* Press between France and Turkey in the same game:

Spring 1905:

Feckless Clod (France): If you want to stand a chance of winning, now would be a good chance to stab. You can take Greece and Naples for a start.

Kangaroo (Turkey): support me to naples then

Feckless Clod (France): So ordered.

Autumn 1905:

Kangaroo (Turkey): thanks
from apulia

Feckless Clod (France): It'll be more effective if I break support from Rome.
It's also better for you to move from Ionian, so Tunis can't break support.
Anyways, I was supporting last turn, and you let Austria take Naples, so now I'm going for Tunis instead. Let's talk again in spring.

Autumn 1905:

Kangaroo (Turkey): fuck- he stabbed first

Feckless Clod (France): And you're surprised?

Kangaroo (Turkey): well no. I built to many fleet

Spring 1906:
Kangaroo (Turkey): i hold now and let this game lose

Feckless Clod (France): Good idea. Let it be known that stabbing you will have no unfortunate consequences.

OR you could man up, and fight back.

OR you could let your country fall into civil disorder, and let someone who is actually going to play the game have a go.

Or are you metagaming?

TAKE NAPLES.

Autumn 1906:
Kangaroo (Turkey): civil disorder since i am over this game now.

Feckless Clod (France): Pathetic. TAKE NAPLES.

Feckless Clod (France): So, instead of going into civil disorder, you're going to keep checking in to order all your units to hold so you can help the guy who stabbed you to win?

I hope you die.

Entertaining stuff.

I am somewhat faffed off about this though having recently stumbled to a draw as Turkey with Canute and Kangeroo as A-H and Russia. Bah.

That is impressive :)
I hope noone will be angry at me but I intend to post a reply in this topic every day (just to give the date) - so that it is always in the top of the forum. People are asking/accusing about multi-accounting every day and it always looks as if nothing is being done - which leaves a wrong impression :)

Today is August the 14th, 2008.
Good day everyone :)

It might be August the 14th, 2008 where YOU are, Merkin.... but I'm already enjoying my Friday. :p

canute, a meta? Wow. The guy did seem a little off. But wow, to create so many, and sit there and try to keep them all straight. I have a tough enough time going from one game to the next! I can't imagine if I were going from one login to the next, at different times, trying to keep my "negotiations" straight, and not overlapping ideas between accounts. Why? Seriously, why?

Well, I would not mind if you beat me to it :)
What is Merkin by the way? :)

Here's a heads up - I just took over one of the recently abandoned countries and moves were already entered. So watch out all you people who are in these games; the CD countries still have one phase of cheating left in them.

This is hilarious considering Canute was very quick to accuse players of meta-gaming when people are just playing the freaking game! His insane accusations made everyone in the game I'm in turn against him....however now it works out pretty nicely cuz his territories are in civil disorder ha.

JUSTICE! Canute was seriously one of the biggest douchebags I've ever played with. This is wonderful, wonderful news.

A Merkin is a citizen of the United States of Merka. I kinda assumed you were one, Ivo, despite the dodgy Russian-sounding moniker.....

:) Bulgarian actually - not important.

Canute recently bandied about some meta-gaming accusations against others in this forum, didn't he?

Hooray for Kestas! I was always confused that someone as antagonistic and grammarless as canute could do so well. I thought for a second that maybe my stereotype was wrong!

And when canute came up near the top of TheGhostmaker's rating system too, I thought, well this is strange. Perhaps he deserves more of my respect...

Apparently not! It's very amusing that he spent so much effort covering his tracks when he probably fell to something as simple as an IP check.

Reminds me of a major drug bust, except the war against multiaccounting is probably going better than the war against drugs.

Sweet, sweet, justice. Let nobody ever doubt Kestas' ability to handle multiaccounting again.

huh. i actually talked with Careless about whether TinTin and Kangaroo were the same player, and he said i should report it because i'm a more experienced player and i would be more believable. actually, if he said he had done it, i wouldn't have reported them :P.

was it my report that told you?
