He already made a thread about this. The mods didn't find anything wrong with the game.

Ugh, so he did. Bad show, terry32smith. In future please don't post cheating accusations on the forum, and really, seriously, do NOT spam the forum by posting multiple threads about the same complaint.

terry32smith -1

Another -1 terry, shame on you.

seriously terry32smith this is getting ridiculous... as I say previously:

The english offer a dmz and an alliance on the first turn, but it made the mistake of putting in on the public press. The german freaked out and immediately accused us of metagaming.
I think it convinced everyone to attack us and the italian threw itself at me. so ofcourse after that England and I ended up ally.
I was happy with my landing in Tuscany in spring 1904..to break the italian stalemate
I would have been happy to draw with Austria but his public cheating accusation were not nice ! and england was not keen.
now I would appreciate if you could stop posting your accusation. it is not the third forum you create.

Sargmacher,anme ,Jamiet99 and president I aprreciate your support !
Terry I'm waiting for your apology !

Wow. Just wow.

Pathetic show, terry.

Actually my comment was more sarcastic than anything else. I thought the '-1' thing was funny and a bit silly really.

Posting the same comment in a second thread is ridiculous though, especially if you have already been told the case is closed.

He pretty much posted both threads at the same time, by the look of it. Tut tut. Spammer.

He always spams.

Burn him! Burn the accusing spammer!

Way to play it out to the end, Terry.

terry32smith: 42 resigns!!! 23% of 184 games played! that's pathetic and unacceptable

That is pretty awful. Remind me to blacklist terry32smith.

Yeah. He's on mine.

42 resigns? That has to be record!

anyone wanna help me understand wtf happened?

I know its a live game but seriously...how do only two people manage to input moves out of 17.

Perhaps the start time was too far in the future and people forgot so the two were the only ones to show up at the appointed time?

Yeah, I was one of those two who actually showed up. I thought a live world game would be awesome, even if I didn't expect everyone to show up. I didn't expect 15 players not to show up... So we just voted draw.

TBH i laughed when i saw that game.

in fairness to terry32smith many of his resigns are because he plays 5 and 10 minute games. Sometimes they can drag on for hours and hours and if he had to go to bed or something ....

Tough shit. He shouldn't join live games if he doesn't have the time to play them through!

Jamie +1

Having to quit earlier than expected is fine for a few CDs, but not a quarter of all your games. No he is just a quitter and ruins games for others. He is on my blacklist.

I played a live game last night where 1-center Germany played for a good hour after it was clear that the Juggernaught was unstoppable and he was not in any position to be a part of a draw. He came back, every turn, to put in his order to hold Liverpool after Italy and France both left. Now that's what I call a respectable player.

@ maniac: are you terry's mom?

LOL! trip +1

@trip - no I was just pointing out that we don't know terry's situation, he may be 12 or something and it's hard for twelve year olds to continue a game if their mum says it's bedtime. Or he could be someone with a life, and gives up diplomacy if someone offers to take him to the pub, or he could be a surgen who plays whilst waiting for a kidney to be delivered but then gives up on diplomacy to save a poor child's life....etc...etc....Terry could be a hero and you guys are roasting him alive.

he can't be 12 if he's been playing since '79.

@Maniac - In *every* one of those circumstances, he shouldn't be playing live games.

@ maniac: you don't know his situation either. i have a life, yet i've managed to not cd (except for one game, even though it doesn't show on my record). also, that 42 doesn't include games that were cancelled because he quit, or games where he quit but was defeated before going cd. i won't waste my time checking his profile for the latter, but i'd be willing to bet there are more than a few occasions where that's happened.

how many games must one ruin, for any reason, before they decide that they don't have time to play? i'd like to think less than 42.
