AdminMark been busy?

Jeff, Josh and Shell are not cheats.

So... why are they banned then?

-Goodie

Because they share IP, they live in the same house and have multiple computers but the IP is same for them all.

Since the game started blocking same IP transfers they have had to send to others for trades.

And Jake is in Miami now so his IP would now be different.

yes, its all very convenient... that 2 who started out living apart, suddenly start living together when one of them quits?

I can under stand the brothers... but STI as well?

-Goodie

Um, what?
STI and reborn are brothers, crazymofo is the mother of reborn's children.

Well that makes sense.

Acronon.......They had IP exeptions and admin knew about them being related to eachother so thats not the issue now at all.
The problem is that reborn supposedly has acces to all 3 accounts im not sure where that info is based on but if it validates a ban then it must be something serious.

If Reborn is unbanned by any chance ill have a couple friends setting up an account and then ill take them over from there on because it seems like nothing can be done about it anyway........

[Almost38]

so he got banned because he may have logged into all three accounts

I think only admin himself knows the specifics of why they were banned; and has thus far kept shtum on the subject. Everything being discussed here is purely speculative. You would all do well to bear that in mind.

Personally, I'm having a hard time getting my head around this. I've known these players for a while now, and the idea that they'd deliberately cheat is completely and utterly atypical of everything I've ever come to expect from them.

I'm going to wait a few days and see what happens before commenting further.

[Zeratul]

actually mordack, the stuff that we wrote a couple of times here isnt speculative...

That you, Reyne? Still trying to make an impact?

[Riposte]

Surely they will be unbanned? Thought there would be more of an outcry over this...

[Zeratul]

the proof was overwhelming... so very unlikely they'll be unbanned...

[geisha]

that's just ridiculous. Anyone who has ever spoken to reborn knows how many cheats he helped finding.

Also those four players have had an IP exception for ages because they live together. So why do they get banned now? For exchanging resources? Of course they do. Wouldn't you play as a team with your brothers?

[Zeratul]

from what we heard, the main rule that was broken (many, many times at that) was this:

4) No logging into other people's accounts.

and through that, these two:
1) Only one account per person, per game server.
3) No sharing or giving out your account details to others.

hope that answers your question...

p.s: STI isn't actually their brother... but anyway...

Zeratul has basically told everyone that the ban had nothing to do with logging into accounts.

What goes up must comes down I guess.

Thank you. As a result of this: <bad words> Acronon (there goes the brothers defense)

So, geisha, the admin you were defending, and thanking a few days ago, you are now saying must be wrong? maybe not in as many words, but that is still the underlying message of your post.

inb4 Omegan lobbying for their unbanning.

What are you implying? I do appreciate admin's work and I do like this game. I also want this game to be free of cheats. And if they did cheat, well then they didn't deserve any better. I just find it very hard to believe and am hoping it is a big misunderstanding. I know how much they helped improving the game by finding and reporting cheats in the past.

@Nuto: a half brother is still a brother, don't you think?

[Vegito_]

hmm i really dont think that admin has got this 1 wrong.......

I talked to Jeff b4 he left the game and he said that it was more like a part time leave, and he would only login every now and then to bank.

And as for Jeff not being a brother well any1 who knows them knows this.... But they are indeed related, im not going to say how

And i really dont think Josh as the time to login to 3 accounts every day... Last time i checked he had a very busy life now with the kids.

hmmmm..... neways i think admin has got this 1 wrong.
