Hi,
I was in a game, started around 11:50 GMT, with purplefizz, myself as ranban005,hoopy2 and koleone.

As for the embargo, I was not the victim. However, hoopy2 twice said "no trades please" to koleone, which, prima facie constitutes an embargo cheat.

Later, the 4th white went to purplefizz for a somewhat low price due to hoopy not bidding it up. Then, hoopy opened the third blue and let it go to purplefizz for a low price, despite that being against his interests. This is cheating according to http://galacticmag.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=80, point b.

I would not normally bother to report such things, but as the player in question unfairly accused players of cheating here (For some reason beyond my comprehension, a moderator saw it fit to penalize the two players), this needs posting.

It is not a good idea to accuse players of cheating if one doesn't want to trade and let properties be sold for low prices.

ranban: "hoopy2 twice said "no trades please" to koleone, which, prima facie constitutes an embargo cheat."

Going to have to agree 100%. If rules are to bee enforced to the extent i have seen lately then this must be punished as well. Colluding with other players to not trade also constitutes team plat in my opinion.

P.S. Thank you for your support on the previous issue ran, i feel it was unjust as well.

surely it is my perogative whether i trade with someone or not?
rather than being ignorant by ignoring them i post NO TRADE PLEASE
and this constitutes cheating?
i dont know rule 80b subsection 3d
but i do know a) i dont have to accept bad trade offers
b) i am under no obligation to 'bid things up'
whether it's in my interest or not, my money is my problem
thx

Everyone has their own strategy and unless it is blatantly out of spite that someone doesnt trade and it is able to be proven then it cannot be penalized.
Whether someone trades or not is their choice as they may have other plans and or strategy that you are not aware of and they do not have to reveal to you. It could of course cause them to lose which is then their own fault for not taking the trade into consideration.
As for opening a property and not bidding this is not punishable because again it could be a strategy to get someone else to use their funds or put someone else out by letting the other player obtain a property for a set. Again everyone has their own strategy and if someone repeatedly plays a strategy that you do not agree with or like then it is suggested that you no longer play a game with that person.

Actually its 4 weeks tomorrow they were stripped from their mod status on the forum, yet they still have mod signs (far as I am led to believe) and there has been no sign of you requesting or seeking their replacements....I know you have had much on your plate this last month, but surely the ball could of been put in motion by now?
