13xhits @ 885.6 per hit. Comes to a 11.5bill total.
I find it hard to believe that someone would continue farming knowing they are being hit constantly and it appears this happens from 02:12 - 02:21

Just seems a little bit fishy to be honest and made to look like it wasnt a feed by the time delay.

Re: Interesting

He was trying to buy a mothership apparently.

[spoiler]2:22 - Him: hi there can you please stop faring me as i am trying to train my army a bit please
2:23 - Me: don\'t leave so much naquadah out in the open, you should spend it after 2-3 attacks
2:24 - Him: i am asking you nicely and i want a mothership thats why its in the open
2:25 - Me: then you should build some defense before going for a mothership
2:26 - Him: listen here you rank number 7 if you didnt mass me i would have had a mothership
2:26 - Me: or wait for a time when noone else is online
2:28 - Him: well i asked you nicely so please give me a chance ok[/spoiler]

Galactic Attack Logs makes sniping way too easy, when I checked he had more than 6bill out, also a bunch of 0 naquadah hits on inactives.
My best guess is he's new to the game.

Re: Interesting

We are investigating this. If there is any further evidence you'd like to share (both of you), please do so.
Sorrow - if you could post screenshots of the messages exchanged, it wouldn't hurt.

Please refrain from posting anything but further evidence to support the claims.

Re: Interesting

Yes preferably the actual messages. You can still leave the screenshot you posted above.

Preferably also you SS the whole page (you can mask any irrelevant data such as your other tabs, if you use more tabs and any personal info you might have on browser, how much naq you have on hand and in bank, same with ATs and UU bank). If you have a dropbox you can share the pictures via db and send me a PM with the link, alternatively you can also give me the link to pictures on any of the web-hosting sites where I can view them full-screen. That way it is much easier for us to determine whether the screenshots are genuine or not (there have been cases where people with some basic Photoshop knowledge posted fake screenshots as a proof).
Don't take this the wrong way - I'm not accusing you of anything, but I want these things to be handled properly and that no one would get any ideas about how to cheat without us detecting them, and this includes making sure all proofs presented are accurate and genuine, I'm sure you understand :)

Re: Interesting

We have reached a conclusion. There is evidence to support both sides of the story - that it was a feed and that it was a few lucky snipes. Therefore we cannot say with enough certainty that it was either one option.
Lucky snipes are a part of the game, feeding is not. We don't want people to be afraid of sniping, it's a legitimate part of the game. Feeding is not and people should be afraid of feeding.

That being said, we have decided that we will give a verbal warning to Sorrow as the evidence is insufficient to warrant a ban. Do not take the verbal warning as a "free ticket out of being fed" (this goes to all of the people reading this topic, not only Sorrow) and that next time you actually snipe someone it's going to get you banned. It doesn't work that way.

Verbal warning: The Game Cops have decided that we will be watching both of the accounts in question (IDs 30526 and 30775) closely for any possible future suspicious activity. Right now we are giving you the benefit of the doubt due to insufficient evidence proving otherwise and due to your, otherwise, clean record (as far as we are aware). However, we request that ID 30775 (Sorrow) does not snipe ID 30526 again - normal hits are ok, don't snipe that specific player anymore.

We justify the request by the fact that any further snipes might tick the scale of evidence and that it is generally not good for the game to snipe people to the point where they can't do anything. This has resulted before in accounts being deleted and new blood being driven away from the game, which is something we both cannot want and cannot afford with current player base.

To those wondering about ages of accounts - verbode1vrugte's account is older than Sorrow's current account, however Sorrow did play the game before under a different account.

If you have any further questions about the decision taken, feel free to post in this topic within 24 hour period starting with this post. After that, I'd ask the mods to close the topic.

Re: Interesting

Good call game cops...
While I don't think Sorrow was being fed...
I've seen him snipe people and have been sniped by him myself.
He does a good job of it... and he is one of the relentless snipers that will continue to snipe you as long as your online and farm.
I say good call because obviously I don't get to see all the information unless presented. There may be more then meets the eye!

Also a very good point on sniping/farming someone out of the game... It may not be obvious to some, but we want more players in Quantum. We don't want to make there experience so unpleasant that they throw the towel in. Rather create a challenge so that they continue to play. Often when I repeatedly farm or snipe players, I will send them a tip to help them improve their game...

It's good to have game cops... thanks for the time you put in for the game.

Re: Interesting

Thanks devildog, it's always nice to see people acknowledge our work and the time put into this.

As there were no responses requiring further explanation of the decision, I ask this topic to be locked.
