Hate to be a pain in the butt, but I'm slightly miffed. I had a rather large planet taken from me, by an account named Red Angel. Or, http://www.stargatewars.com/stats.php?id=72177 Now. I actually don't mind, when someone steals one of my planets. I just go on my merry way, and steal 'em back. So, within 2 minutes (( I was online when it was stolen )) It was gone. Strange. I didn't think most people watched accounts, with 30k army size, for a planet, that is way out of its league.

do you have proof of this happening?
and dont say "he took my planet and I looked and It was gone", that happens quite often nowadays, planet raiders get online with friends/customers and pass it off real quick.
and I believe you meant to use implication, not inference.

I believe "inference" and "implication" work equally well in this instance.
Also, I think the amazingly small time frame of a couple of minutes strikes me as reasonably suspicious and worth investigating.
Even presuming it was a handoff between two actual players, I see every reason for the original poster to feel "scammed" under such a circumstance, "legal" i.e. not strictly against the rules and "ethical" i.e. in keeping with the spirit and ideas behind the rules are often 2 very different things; that's why rules get changed every so often.
The same thing happened to me recently; in my case, given the attacker was far far beneath me in ranking and has a remarkably high covert level and surprisingly low in defenses (0)for someone with a mothership , I'm very comfortable with the induction the account/player ("Destroyr of Worlds") is highly suspect at best.
Offhand dismissal is just as inadvisable as jumping to conclusions.
