There were a number of lopsided trade offers made by darkemi along with cheat trade offers. 100% cheat trade offers below:


Start 75
Attempt made to buy 2nd yellow for 300
DarkEmi cash: 2287 at the time of offer.

Start 75
Attempt to buy 2nd yellow and 3rd orange for 600
cash: 2417 at time of offer.

Start 75
Attempt to buy 3 green for 1000

Start 75
Attempt to buy 2nd yellow and last orange for 800 (same offer of 900 also)

Start 55
Attempt to buy 3 green for 1200
cash: 3442 at time of offer

All of the above trades are below base value prior to ec, and too low to be classed as benefical to the other player.

5 day ban issued for trying 6 (without question) cheat trade offers in one game.

If after the short ban this kind of trading continues a longer ban maybe issued.

And the funniest is i dont even care about points and u can see that since yesterday i remenber i leaved at least two game near the beginning just cause i was bored, yet u accuse me of cheating for what ? trying to get one more point or i dont know what.

I remenber having these ridic ban like 2 y ago when i used to play, sad to see nothing has changed and the mod team always apply ridic justice and huge time ban punishment in a game already lacking a real big community of players

I mean come on..... I havent play since 2y, i came as a "noob", freeloose 3 games, and get instant ban for 6 day the day i came back just for some trades, do u really think u re gonna have new players if u insta ban 1 week everybody that isnt up to point with the rules ?

[DarkEmi]

And lets be clear i had no {f-word} idea proposing an advantagous trade for me was "cheat". isnt that the whole point of trading ?

And i was as well setting the market for future trade

If you just take time to look around the complaint section, you will see many players do not like to be cheated, or to get cheat offers continuously throughout a game.

Now where is it my responsibility lies? With those who attempt to con another player, or with the majority who play fair.

If you take away the penalties then players would never change, and honest players would feel angry that we'd just let everything go. If they got cheated on every game players would leave very fast.

I would rather deal with the select few who decide to kick up a fuss and go a little crazy, than have a far larger number of unhappy players which would result in a greater loss of player numbers.

Caught by-passing, ban extended to 10 days from today.

[DarkEmi]

Have fun loosing yet another player

Why not 30 days your too kind

[trace567]

Trace you guys are doing a fantastic job, and the real GM players are thanking Sweet Jebus up in the sky that you are here now


I for one think there should be MORE bans, not less
