No we aren't :-)

Very suspicious though.

Nope. As far as I know, we aren't even from the same country.

You're one to talk, Happyklim :) - Turkey (Mussolini) should have wiped Italy (you) and Germany (Timchau) out the game in "No eye deer 4" since 1906 and it keeps on helping you without getting anything in return. It can get Munich right now, for instance. Passed through Marseille without taking it...

That's suspicious...

Lol, on every game Happyklim, Timchau ALWAYS ally, you'd think their all clones by how much they constantly ally with each other, even if its to their own disadvantage, but oh well.

happykim is a known multiaccounter...please post accusations only when you become a legitimate player

yes happyklim this is a bit rich. but ive noticed multiaccounters are very quick to get stuck into each other.

You should not look at the individual cases such as No eye deer 4. Look at other games in my profile. And, I, Mussolini, timchau are different players in the real world. We study in the same school with many more Diplomacy players.

As to alamothe's allegations, I have no idea what you are talking about.

especially when I know happyklim in person.

and timchau as well

mussolini,timchau, happklim etc...what say you to the allegations that you guys always ally together (meta gaming) and strangers who join your games don't stand a chance?

why dont you have passworded games and only play inside your little group if this is always going to be the case.

I can tell you the details...

I am from Hong Kong, China.

I study in Diocesan Boys' School and I am in F.3D, i.e. grade 9 D class

My classmates playing Php Diplomacy include:

1. myself

2. saradomian

3. Gobbledydook

4. Chairman Mao

5. kn2005

6. timchau

7. happyklim

8. jasperleeabc

We are in the same class, and gobbledydook introduces this game to me. Soon, many of my classmates join, and we also like playing together. Playing in the the same game is not forbidden.

So I sincerely hope that you guys will stop making up things like we all are meta gaming.

Replying to sean:

Sometimes our classmate dosen't have enough points or don't want to play such low pot games. Also, some of us don't have too much time to play so many games. So, if we want to play private games, we would rather play the game on paper during the lesson... or free time :D

I hope this will answer all the questions to all of us.

Playing on the same game is not forbidden. I play with offline friends, too - and I'm as ruthless with them as with anyone else when the time comes.

But with the way you play (and I thought that was the exact definition of metagaming, please correct me if I'm wrong), it's just not interesting to play with you. You have to understand that.

arrr...I don't like being dragged into this argument...I don't metagame, I don't constantly ally with my friends (I don't actually play with them a lot...), I do backstab, and very fiercely indeed...So don't pull me into this argument.

Yep, I can support Gobbledydook on this: he is a perfectly legitimate player and has learnt the proper way how to win games.

As for some of the others above, it is just hypocrisy for them to be trying to out people. Mussolini, who is of course none other than the not-so-Smart Jason, is still playing under multiple accounts on this site. Check out Budlight as one of them...

He tries to gain kudos by stating that Chairman Mao is an associate, but it was the same Smart Jason/Mussolini who used the accounts Chairmanmao and Axxxxxxxx (real name) to try to persuade people that he was Axxxxxxxx... Nothing short of an attempt at identity theft in here.

He has not shown any sign of remorse/shame whatsoever and has never once apologised to the players he has cheated. If he kept all the nonsense among his small circle of friends in passworded games, we wouldn't be having these threads, but he and some of the others suck in players, especially new ones, again and again with open games. If I owned this site I would be mightily peed off with the poor impression they create.

And I have no problem calling attention to this ad nauseam.

better still, ad nauseum... ;)

I repeating again that I DID NOT use the account ChairmanMao.

I NEVER do so.

You can ask kestas to check. If he finds me playing that. I will immediately withdraw all my games in phpDiplomacy.

You guys believe in those rumours and not to believe in the fact. It is just like people discriminating the black long ago when people are still not open enough.

Also, I play lots of games without their presence...

I'll never backstab silent_hunter now that I know one of the payoffs of cooperation is crazy threads like this. phpdiplomacy delivers!

I've also noticed some strange behavior coming from happyklim and another 'player'

Just face the facts, continously allying and meta gaming *look up what meta gaming is if you have no idea what it is mussolini* IS generally wrong, yeah we all make allies and enemies, but not to the extent where we get 1 ally to give us their stuff, and then on another game we do the same for them.

heck half of your alliances are too OMG because their completely moronic, you screw over other people game after game with your meta gaming bullcrap.

i dont play games like this, because people like you and other cheaters brings nothing to the game, you can call phpdiplomacy if its cheated by meta gaming or stupidity, i'm in several games with you lot, and your ALWAYS allied, even if its typically wrong to do so.

But whatever, these games grow old and pointless quickly because of people like you, how can you truly win a game because of your skill at it if your teamed up against people who play only because they enjoy meta gaming or whatever...meh..i hate it.

Mussolini...此地無銀三百兩,I think you aren't guilty but remember the sentence. Flashman, let me explain later.
