somthing strange happend explained within.

woke up this morning one eye open one closed
banked money clicked attack , rank by relation,so every one on my
r,b,r should be people i can easily attack
now ( DDD~Mist~ ) was first on my list i thought hm
not seen you befor so i clicked and is rank 4505 so far so good
but no army size at all ( 0 ) no naquada at all ( 0 )
relation to me was neutrall a litle strange as i was on my war declaired
screen , so i desided to take a closer look with no army size and i can see
no naquada and hay presto my spies weny from 200k to 160k in a flash
i thought whot the so i started to digg a little more and it turns out
that DDD~Mist~ shadows other players ranks in other words rank
4505 is realy ( xvim ) but also ( DDD~Mist~ ) how can two players ocupie the same rank ,how did DDD~Mist~ apear on my war declaired onscreen
and how can a account with no army size posible repell 200000k spies and destroy 40k spies
if you understand eney of this that is good
eney answers please ?

Accounts deleted by players do not get treated the same as accounts deleted by Admins as far as i can tell. When a player deletes the account effectively gets sent to "holding", that way Admin can undelete it if the player has 2nd thoughts or some foul play resulted in the initial delete.

I'm guessing since Mist got caught cheating and his account is very wealthy admin decided that having his account as a "farm" via the normal Ostracized option wouldn't be a good thing for the game balance and deleted it completely to avoid this.

The reason the account still shows in some people's war lists is because SQL is a live database system and as such completely deleting something is very hard to achieve because of all the related info. In this case war lists from other players have not been updated to reflect the mist account deletion, but as someone else said if you change your relation setting the game WILL update and reflect the fact Mist is now deleted completely.

As for your lost spies, no idea on that, lol.

I think you should not bother the admin. It doesn't matter why he appeared in your war screen. Most likely, you added him there at some time earlier.

When accounts are deleted (which this was, seeing as I know the player), some very strange things occur. One of these things is everyone's relation to him being reset to neutral, but...him still appearing in everyone's war list.

Even if it were a bug, it's not very high priority because it doesn't affect gameplay at all. Just set your relation to it to neutral again to remove it.

Pls trust this and don't bother the admin. It's emails from ppl like you that stop him from getting to the real problems.
