taking odds on bombing - syria/iran, obama/romney
i say if obama is elected, 70% chance syria gets it, 60% iran.
if romney i say 80% bombs away on syria, 60% on iran.
and of course, drones/cia/funding terrorist organizations in those states 100% on both, no question.

Game is coming to a close, and USA vanished. Since not all parties want a draw yet, we would love a replacement.

infiltration/corporate espionage/hiding/lying - evil?
can we have a consensus that people who lie/cheat/steal are evil and should not delude themselves into thinking they are on the side of justice? also should i do further research into the topic, of which i know something, and try to publish a book or something? or would it be dismissed as paranoia?

Frustration from blatant stupidness
Consider that you are italy in a gunboat and decide to play austian friendly (opening to piedmond, apulia and iosian) and he attacks venice in the first turn. Okay can happen, you take it back in fall and continue playing anti france and pro-austria. Now he attacks you again..

A message from Sandgoose
Hello,

In private email related to the PNW World Cup team, Sandgoose sent the following email regarding his banning. He has given me permission to post it on the forum.

As for the ban. Nkcell is my twin brother who I only found out who he was yesterday after he fessed for getting me banned a second time. I used to be mr. Crispy. They let me come back without my redemption of that tag.

There's two games we had already played together were I did not know who he was at that point and still didn't. All game messages and moves are clearly consistent with that contention. The mods basically have no proof at this point. None whatsoever.... Thu just banned me without asking me anything at all. The only rule I had recently skirted was their previous dumb ass decision that they took away 40 D from me. Only because I gave dumb ducker mother fucker shit in our games for throwing the game. My play was still consistent with press and messages but the moderators are just pricks who could give less of a fuck. They still haven't responded to my emails and they just don't care. And I'm fucking sick of it. If I ever come back I now lost all title and ranking as an honored player which I was .... Piss on them. Fuck them. I didn't deserve to be treated that way and a restructure of the moderators needs to be taken. I'm calling foul and if you can get a rally of diplomacy players behind you to bring me back. I would appreciate it greatly as I've done nothing wrong

I'm not sure if we know that or not, FD. We take their word for it that they don't. Of course, it's POSSIBLE they don't. I'm not saying for sure that they did. But I do think it's fair to say, given how public a figure SandGoose was, and given that he has chosen to make a statement regarding the facts, that the mods should seriously consider lifting the usual mask of secrecy over the evidence in this case.

Of course, I know they like to believe that they have super secret methods of detection that they can't expose, but let's face it -- anybody energetic enough to look through old forum threads to find out how the mods do their detection is probably also energetic enough to read the public source code and find it out.

I say Sandgoose should give the mods premission to post everything they have on the case.
rokakoma (19138 D)
13 Oct 12 UTC
I think they way they played should be enough proof for any decision.

It may happen they broke rules, by playing from the same IP address, for example, but that doesn't mean they cheated.

There's a difference between cheating and breaking rules, though some people simply doesn't understand the difference :) :)

they did have a gunboat together, roka, that did look kind of odd, given the fact that neither of them were good gunboaters.

And the mods generally have good reasons to ban, I have seen a very balant multi let go, and given a second chacne
Zmaj (215 D(B))
13 Oct 12 UTC
I don't see what the guy's problem is. Banned? Take a new name, start from scratch. If you actually love playing, that is. Or are you here just for troublemaking?
So, he didn't know his Twin brother's account name? Horse shit. Someone call the Wambulance

13 Oct 12 UTC
thx, FD
I can't believe people are even considering this. This is not only horse shit, but laughable horse shit. So his twin Brother knew sandgoose played but sandgoose didn't know his brother played. Or sandgoose knew his twin brother played and never bothered to ask what his account name was. Neither is believable at all
Fortress Door (1837 D)

It COULD have happened... NKcell might have seen Sandgoose playing. But why wouldn't NKcell tell Sandgoose?
aaaaaand it happened twice.

FD: seeing a game like that, if I had been in that one, I would have shouted out in the forum already, asking for mods :) Then I would have been *strongly warned* and Draugnar would have muted me. :)

All in all that seems to be a multi/meta for me quite clearly.

He has ONE shot, ONE shot to write an email to get him back and THIS IS WHAT HE WRITES???

"Piss on them. Fuck them. I didn't deserve to be treated that way and a restructure of the moderators needs to be taken. "

For God's sakes ban any player that starts his name with Sand and ends with Goose or any other poultry before he ever hits the system.

rokakoma (19138 D)

Also I remember HappyHippo literally jumping to my throat not to accuse him cheating, he told serious things how I dare thinking anything like that. 2 weeks later he was banned.

So just because someone tells he's not a cheater, it doesn't mean he isn't. Zmaj is right, if he loves playing that much, simply start over from the begining.

Well it was kind of low of the mods to ban him while he was on vacation and had a sitter. I think they timed it so that it woild be forgotten about when Sandy got back. Very sneaky indeed.
