Peregrin_Took (10594) and NWE (10688) have been banned for mutliaccounting. I strongly suspect that Sauron is also the same person, but there isn't enough evidence for a ban at this point.

You realize that the way the replacement system works, DollyDagger payed for each and every one of those centers with a proportionate number of points, right? He's in the same boat as the rest of you, except that his maximum return is the points corresponding to the 3 (or 4, I suppose, if he moves wisely) centers he still needs to win, and his minimum gain is negative whatever-he-payed-to-get-in, which was far more than any of the rest of you. There's nothing unfair about the replacement. Quite honestly, it seems a rather reckless use of points to me. I guess he figures no one can stop him from gaining 3 more centers.

Does this make sense to other people, or am I missing something?

Its a cheat game so why should the game have gone up for replacement-m i won';t be unpausing for sure.

There is EVERYTHING unfair about the replacement- he gets a cheaters head start, whether he paid or not- give him his points back.
I asked for this game to be drawn(forcibly) if a cheat was found.

If the cheaters have been removed, what is the problem?

And as I've stated, I don't see any problem with him gaining a head start, however his predecessor earned it. What you're saying is akin to stating that it's unfair for me to (for example) join a game where the CD'ed player only had one center left, because I have an unfair disadvantage. On the contrary, it's completely fair, as long as there's a proportionate investment in both cases; it's just different.

because its tainted the game and ruined it for the rest of us, and also allows an idiot like DollyDagger to join it and then allude that i was cheating in that one... where the f does he get off?

Not cd'd- CHEATED there's a difference... my god!

Well i'm not unpausing til i hear back from Mods.
If i do have to, i'm sure the others will gang up on him, which is SURELY fair no>?

Anyway i got a life outside of here, so gnite

The example I used was a real game, and the previous player had in fact CD'ed. I believe that is the case, at least.

As for the game being "tainted", it's entirely possible. But the cheater is now gone, and you're no worse off than if the game had been disbanded upon his removal, because even if you lose everything, which you don't seem likely to, you get your points back.

If he hadn't cheated, i'd have been in a better position

Why don't you get the difference.
If it was fair play- i wouldn't care.

I'm sure you would have. However, that is now past, and there is no link between DollyDagger and the cheater other than that DollyDagger took up the cheater's position - and as I've said, that hurts you not one bit.

Hmmm and he's the one who started all this(aside from you) so i've NO intention of letting him take a winners position.
I will wait for the mods to say if i can have the game drawn- all the OTHERS agree except for THE NEW FRANCE

anyway off now-m read in the morning.

Started all what? He had nothing to do with this game until he joined it in the past hour or so. If you're referring to what we're discussing in a different thread, I'm surprised that you can't keep the issues separate.
And I feel it wise to point out that since the game is PPSC, no one will lose much from a France win that they wouldn't from a draw - the maximum any one player can lose is the three centers it will take France to hit 18, barring extraordinary circumstances.
