By the time there were major problems the game appears to of been down to 4 players.

Those 4 players were as follows:

stc2000
Bleu_soul
Pepiron
Aidisim

Now there were a number of cheat trades, both offers and accepted trades. These involved 3 players. There was a borderline ish one between pepiron and bleu, although this is just about passable.

What proceeded was trades mostly between stc200 and bleu_soul. Bleu had the game 100% in the bag. So all trades then became helping trades to other players. Most carried out between stc, but also a couple and 1 offer by aidism.

Now since all players were involved in one way or another in taking part in cheat trades, its a case of either punish all, or nobody!!!

I will chose to not punish any this time. But this is a BIG warning.....trades performed of which are only helping one of the trading players are against the rules. At no time is it acceptable for any player who clearly has the game won, to decide to buy up the board just to fill their ego.
Equally, in case anyone is in any doubt, the more you own does NOT give any player more points. The points are based on % of each losing player and nothing else.

If there is a next time, there will be a point reduction, or ban if necessary.
