Planet Thief

[HellFire]

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.

~Miffed, HellFire.

that is why i work on planet defence right awwa...i suggest u work on it to...get around 10-15 billion def and there shouldnt be a problem then work on the benefits

[Artiglio]

wheres the cheating here?

[gooseman the first]

yea, sounds like your average planet raider, they're really annoying but perfectly legal

[HellFire]

Wait, creating a multi account, just to steal planets, is not against the rules?

To all of you that cant fathom the header post, the inferrence is that the cheat is using a dummy account to take planets. He then uses a real account to take the planets from the dummy account. The benefit here is that the victim player will have no way of locating his former planet.

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.

[Dr Phibes]

I guess I should say I rrreally don't take it as a given multis are the guaranteed explanation in either case, merely that both cases have enough suspicious circumstances so that the question of sames seems fair, obvious, and plausible.
