How do you deal with people who keep fighting you as another player takes SCs and wins?
1st place has 10 SCs, 2nd place had 8, I had 6. 2nd place kept attacking me even as 1st built up to 12, 14, 17 SCs even while I went defensive. 1st place was eating 2nd's centers and 2nd was playing like an idiot.

How do you counter that? I wasn't sure what I could do. The last two turns I went all out desperate attack against 1st place and 2nd didn't even bother and actually grabbed more SCs while I put on a desperate push to stop 1st from winning.

Gunboat multis
Is it just me, or are you immediately suspicious of newly created anonymous gunboat games with only two people registered? Does that reek of obvious multi?

Rodgers/Brees Combine For 750+ YDs Passing As GB Defeats NO 42-34 (NFL Predictions!)
GREAT opening game!
Fun shootout, 76 D scored, two great QBs...and it came down to the final play of the game! (Though, seriously...WHY RUN IT THERE?!)

So, with the Pack beating the Saints--sorry, Eden--the NFL season is underway...picks?

Question about muting
So, I've finally found myself annoyed enough with someone on the forums to mute them; not saying who as that would defeat the point of the mute, and I had a question:
If I'm playing an anon game with someone that I've muted, are they muted in the anon game too, or can they still chat normally in the game?

Quick question about Mods...
I emailed a Mod a few days ago about a Meta gamer, and I haven't heard back. I understand that Mods are all volunteers and have their own lives/games to attend to, but does anyone know about how long it takes to get a response (on average)? Or if I can expect one at all after they've 'investigated'?

On a side note.. has anyone noticed a stark increase in the occurrence of meta/multi gamers the past couple months??

We will email you once we start working on your case and email you again with our decision. It usually takes a couple days to a week, but occasionally longer.

No, cheating seems to be fairly steady overall recently.

Will a game be deleted if its over by the time the mods get to my claim? Unfortunately the players in question have a great advantage, I don't see why everyone else should lose diplo points or ratings if they win.

Best email the mods at: [email protected] if you want to reach them. I understand someone is metagaming, or at least you have suspicions. Be aware that, where multigaming is forbidden and will be punished, metagaming is frowned upon but not forbidden.

I was under the impression you were Dutch, since your name is a very common Dutch name. :) Aber das du Deutsch bist ist auch ganz Logisch. Oder.

06 Sep 11 UTC
Yes well I didn't include the game link, or player names since the game isn't over (as per the rules), I just wanted to know when if I should expect an answer on what they decide, or one stating they were looking into it... Otherwise i'd ask for a pause in the game, so other players aren't penalized by an unfair advantage from a multi.

Thank you for all the answers/help!
abgemacht (1076 D(G))

If you didn't send a game link, please do so. We can't do anything without it.

Ursa, if maple was banned, he could just create another profile. Better to just mute him and then he can say what he wants and not know whether or not anyone is hearing him.

The person who said metagamers are not punished is incorrect. It is just as against the rules as multi-ing and if you are caught you will be punished.

seriously... its been over a week now. I truly understand that they are busy, but I've yet to hear anything, even an automated email saying they at least GOT my email would be great. And the game in question is still (unfairly) progressing. It seems like people who break the rules and post the active game link, along with the players names, get a more timely response with little consequence.

It's a free site dude, you get what you pay for ;)
In all seriousness though, everyone has been affected by cheaters in at least a few of their games, it's just part of the site. I too am in a questionable (anon) game and I have also submitted a request and I also have not gotten a reply yet. I'm fine with that though since I have never had an email ignored and I've submitted my fair share of them. Just chill dude. Though if you want to lose 25 D in the hopes it gets you a faster response...
